I finnaly found a secret recipe of success, after lots of times a had to adjust glasses again, since they due to gravity goes down.

What you need is:
1)HeadLamp. They are common for fishing, as in dark nights you have to see what you are doing. What is important - with three headstraps (actually that's two but whatsoever). Wear it, if you feel comfortable, this is will be also fine for your glasses.

2)Some bendable things. Not sure how it's named correctly, this is what used to keep wires together, when you buy new mouse, keyboard or any other computer stuff. They are easy to bend so you can easily fix vr920 to headstrap.

3)Some soft pads, also for comfortable, so you don't get your skin red because straps push them for long period of time, breaking blood supply.
You can get them also in lots of computer stuff, when you buy a new card, they are placed inside this soft pads, for preventing damage while transporting.
4)Some heatsinks - if you got blackdot problem.

Now assembling:
1) Remove lamp from headlamp, so you got headstraps left. It's commonly a few screws. Trash lamp, keep headstraps
2) Fix soft pads on headstraps plastic details (they will push hardly) and earstraps of you vr920. I also removed standart ears from vr920 - they make my ears pain, so i use my own.
It's done easy with needle and thread
3)Put heatsinks of glasses - middle top, and middle front. Not middle bottom, since it will hurt your nose.
4)Adjust headstraps for your head. Then fix vr920 to headstrap plastic pad, where light device originally was, using bendable stuff. Fix ears parts of glasses to headstraps on the left and right part, also with needle and thread - for comfort. Anything else will hurt skin. It's important here, depending how far you will fix, the distance from glasses to your eyes when you wear all that stuff will be different and not adjustable. So you'll have to find that yourself, what is better for you.

And how this is finnaly looks:


Now when i wear straps fix glasses tight on my head, so when i play something with tracker, i can move head freely, not fearing glasses will slip off. I can play in every position i like, looking up or down, laying on a side.

There is something mentioned in current version of vr920 specification about headstrap. But my current version is 1,5 years old, there wasn't any included.
Nor can i find any headstrap in accessories part of site. So i made my own)
