If this sounds familiar, feast your eyes on this lineup of nifty gadgets and products specifically designed to make wearing glasses easier and more comfortable.

Find a no-slip wax for nose pads that’s suitable even for people with oily skin, a highly rated repair kit and a game-changing pair of over-the-ear headphones that won’t put pressure on your frames.
