: Please tell us what kind of glasses you wear that actually stay on when you
: roll! I've been removing my regular glasses for roll practice because
: "Croakies" and such don't hold them on in "inverted
: flight".

The only pair of glasses I've lost was on the day I forgot my croakies and instead tied my glasses on with a string.

Croakies work great for me, but I'm very particular about what kind. I use the cloth round 'tube' shaped croakies with the bead on them so I can snug them up against my face. I also don't use the ones with the rubber tips. I slide the croakies all the way up the ear piece until it stops against the frame. While my surf experience is quite limited, I do roll often and have never lost a pair of glasses except the pair I mentioned above.
