So over in the Little Four Eyes facebook group, there’s been a suggestion to make a kids who wear glasses day – tentatively named “International Children Who Wear Glasses Day.” It would be a word of mouth, unofficial day to celebrate our kids in glasses and patches, a day to raise awareness.
Some ideas for things that we could do on that day include:
- have t-shirts for our kids (or us – or both) to wear
- plan meet ups to meet other parents nearby who have kids in glasses
- post pictures and stories of our kids in glasses to facebook and other sites
- raise funds for eye exams and treatments / glasses for families that can’t afford it
We were also trying to brainstorm catchy slogans for our day …
- “International Children Who Wear Glasses Day”
- “Don’t make a spectacle of children who wear glasses.”
- “Glasses – helping our children to look good and see better”
- “Spectacular kids in spectacles”
- Glasses – they’re not just for “looks”
- “Children in glasses are a true vision”
- ” Children in glasses are a beautiful sight”
- “Little peeps’ peepers”
So…thoughts? If there was a kids in glasses day, would you be interested in participating in some way? What ways? Any clever ideas for a catchy slogan?
For Little Eyes 
how about “Bespectacled is spectacular!”

I love this idea. For a slogan I’d vote for “Glasses – helping our children to look good” because I like something that’s a bit tongue in cheek.

I just found out my soon-to-be 3 year old son, Evan, will have to wear a patch for a while and use glasses all day until around age 12 or longer. Farsightedness, starabismus, amblyopia, etc. is what we were told he has. He just got his glasses yesterday and I must say I am having a hard time adjusting emotionally, but I’m very grateful to God because it could be worse and we caught it in time. That being said, I like the idea of promoting the ‘four eyes’ term as a positive label for a change, unlike when we were kids. It will also help others become aware of this fantastic site! So how about this:
{ LITTLE FOUR EYES ~ For a Clearer, Brighter Future} – or tomorrow…either way. I like it because it enforces the importance that their vision today has an IMPACT on the rest of their lives and others. I wish I’d known of his vision problem even earlier. Blessings to all. :))

I think the tagline should be something like “A celebration of style and vision” or “A celebration of spec-tacular kids.”
