How to keep these glasses from flying off my face!

I have a pair of glasses that normally fit snugly enough, but once they get
a little sweat on them during sports I can't keep them on my face. I'd
rather not use a band that attaches to the earpieces and wraps around the
head. The ideal would be earpieces that curl around the ear, but I don't
know if it's practical to replace the current earpieces. Does anyone make
an accessory that would help? TIA

I know some people who've used an accessory that you slip (or wrestle)
onto each "leg" (or whatever you call them) of your glasses so that the
curved rubber-ish accessory will curve around your ears so the glasses
won't fall off. It's an accessory, so you can take it out when you
don't need it. (I know someone who used the accessory with his glasses
for kayaking, and well, he still had his glasses after that.)

The only problem is that I have absolutely no idea where to get the
accessory. But it IS available.

Thanks, that sounds like what I'm looking for. Now, if someone can point me
at a source I'll be styling <g>.

I need to find something similar for my son's glasses. These look
interesting, are cheap, and might work for you:
http://www.wedgees.com/ I don't think they'll work for my son,
though, as he also wears hearing aids.
If anyone finds the slip-on flexible cabe temples, please post to this
group. I've been searching all morning! Thanks, Beverly

Here are two more that might work for you. The croakies are more
expensive but you might be able to find them locally and save on
shipping. I ordered the ones from Walter Drake.
