If your glasses keep sliding down your nose, the advice you will find online is to tighten the hinge screws, bend the arms, or add a pair of grips behind your ears. All three work. None of them last, and there is a reason for that.
Five of the six common fixes change how hard the frame grips. Only one changes where the frame sits on your face, and it only works if your nose pads sit on arms that move. Moulded bridges are common across safety and sports eyewear, and on those there is nothing to raise.
The cause underneath all of it is height. Your nose bridge has one, the frame's bridge has one, and they have to match. You can check your own in about ten seconds: look side on and find where the bridge of your nose sits against your pupils. Level with them or lower generally indicates a lower bridge. Above them generally indicates a higher one.
It is why EyeGuards are built in two bridge designs rather than one, in three sizes, across safety and sports. Both carry the same certification, so choosing the fit that suits your face costs you nothing in protection. The silicone bridge then squeezes in once to finish the fit, and a metal insert holds the shape you set.
Six fixes, the cause they all miss, and the self check are in the full article.
