Arms of my glasses broke off, how can I keep them on my nose without having to replace my glasses entirely?

    This right here is the reason I switched to contacts. I still have my old glasses with one arm held on by duct tape

    Medical adhesive over your nose. Careful though, if you put it on your eyebrows it will remove them.

    Glue back the handles on before you give yourself vertigo. Also, depending on your age using alternative methods for too long can worsen your eyesight. repair them as soon as you can.

    Superglue them to your face

    Just upgrade to contacts. I'm slower with glasses on. It's probably something psychically. I'm just not used to turn my head like you do with glasses. I like to look at you and roll with my eyes while seeing stuff

    @electrineer no you can't. It messes with the focal point, so you strain the eye muscles and your eyesight gets worse.

    @mostr4am it is duct tape, but there is also a brand called Duck Tape. They sell specialty duct tape. So it is confusing. My guess is they wanted to trade mark Duck Tape and couldn't trademark duct tape as it is generic.

    Screws.

    Rubber bands.

    Tape them in place.

    Buy a fake nose/moustache/eyeglasses disguise and replace the fake lenses with your own.

    Mount your glasses to the handle for a set of opera glasses.

    Mount them to a selfie stick sewn into your pants so it stays in place.

    Tie them in place with a bandanna.

    Weld them to those 70s around-the-head braces.

    Fashion some shoulder pads featuring a pair of miniature cranes to lift your glasses into place.

    Use a couple of drones with proximity sensors that constantly fly a few cm from your face.

    Hire a professional to hold your glasses in place as you walk, or sit and work.

    Train butterflies to hold them up.

    Get a girlfriend and ask her to hold them.

    There are lots of options
