Glasses-friendly N95 masks

Do they exist? The ones I have have a tendency to displace my glasses upward far enough that I have a noticeable zone of uncorrected vision, and I can feel my scalp muscles all tense up as I try to look through the wrong part of the lens. It's nothing I can't handle for 15 minutes in the grocery store, but longer stints are going to be a problem.

I haven't found any discussion of this issue online when doing some basic searching, so maybe I'm just not doing a good job of adjusting the nose area?

Although the icon is of a cloth mask, I have for some time now used exclusively N95 masks, and I have not had any problems with my glasses, but that could well be the kind of progressive lenses I have. My glasses are somewhat oversized.
