Thanks for the advice. I know a place online where I can order nosepads so maybe I'll do that. I recently bought a pair of glasses from EyeBuyDirect to be my "pair of last resort," just in case my 2 regular pairs get broken. I know it sounds paranoid, but after my wife had a pair of high index lenses scratched by the staff of an optometrist office, I guess I'm more cautious. That pair has larger nosepads and Cr39 lenses, so it'll probably be heavier than what I got from 39dollarglasses. If those don't leave marks, perhaps larger nosepads are in order.
