Wearing 3D glasses over regular glasses?

This is probably a silly question but how are the 3D glasses for the rides? I'm wondering how easily they fit over regular glasses. I can see ok without my glasses but I'm thinking I will need to wear them to help with the motion sickness.
 
Yep- I put them right over my glasses at Universal and Disney. I need them for distance, otherwise, it's one big blur!

Speaking of prescription glasses, can you leave them on for all rides? Seems like they could be a considered a loose object on some of the strict rides. I hope that's not the case.
 
I recently got glasses that are thicker than my previous and there was no issue, like they always have been. There are various types of 3D glasses and they all work for me.

Also, glasses stay on for all rides. However, if you feel subconscious at certain points in the ride, in which it suddenly stops, you can press your fingers against the frame if it makes you feel better. However, as much as I've worried in the past when I first went on rides, they always stayed on my face.
 
I've never had a problem putting them over my glasses. I've also never had a problem taking my glasses off on a ride. I used to be scared, and would put my glasses in my pocket. I almost ruined a vacation that way - glasses broke in my pocket and my prescription isn't doable in an hour. Luckily I did have contacts with me and my prescription sunglasses when absolutely necessary!

While this is a different concept, I usually tuck my sunglasses on the collar of my shirt, and if I feel subconscious (during one part of the ride) I lightly put my hand over where they are and are perfectly fine. However, this method I would imagine would not work on a roller coaster / attraction that goes upside. But typically, those rides require lockers anyway, to which if you were that worried you can put them in a locker. However, like I said, anyone wearing glasses on a ride should be just fine.
