A lot of the elementary age kids round us are wearing those really thick plastic frames with a strap round the back of the head - I think they are meant for sports as they look like something I used to wear while playing squash when I had contacts, but the kids wear them as their regular glasses, presumably to avoid the problems you're having (OP). First time I saw them they looked pretty goofy,but so many kids are wearing them that no-one bats an eyelid.
Sounds like what used to be referred to as "NHS specs".
