Where did you buy your child’s glasses
It can be hard to find optical shops that have a good selection of frames for kids, and that are reasonable, and nearby. So what type of shop did you go buy your child’s glasses from? Don’t forget our page of recommendations if you want to recommend your place to others.
Fresnel Prism on my 3 year old’s glasses
Glasses – Check Occlusion – Check Surgery – Check Prism Adaptation – Check Hmmm… is there something related to little ones in glasses that we haven’t tried yet???? Not that I know of! We went to the ophthalmologist on Friday due to Elliana’s eyes becoming more over corrected. (major bummer) It appears that she is reactingContinue reading “Fresnel Prism on my 3 year old’s glasses”

Zoe has never really told me that she sees better (or worse) with her glasses, though when we talk about why she wears glasses, sheContinue reading “what our kids say about their vision”
Amblyopia Patching
To Our Patching Families, Sometimes it is hard to remember why we are patching. After placing the patch over our child’s stronger eye vision or pealing a sticky patch away from their reddend skin, it is easy to say, “We’ll skip patching today.” The most important thing to remember though, is that if your child’sContinue reading “Amblyopia Patching”
