Zoe’s 9 year anniversary of getting her first glasses was at the end of December. Her Glassesversary, as I like to call it. At this point, she’s had glasses for 90% of her life — her glasses are so much a normal part of her that it didn’t warrant more than a passing mention, and me asking her for a photo for comparison.

Sad to see children wearing glasses below 12 years

I see things differently. I’m so happy that there are treatments (like glasses or contacts) for children who need them to see better.

hi! I was wondering what people thought about the idea of buying glasses at the local public library, if it was done in a fun and interactive way (think Warby Parker for young ones!)? How often do y’all go to the library as a fun weekend activity?

I’m not sure I totally understand what you mean by buying glasses at the library? Like having an optician come to the library to sell the glasses? I’m a librarian, so we get to the library pretty often on weekends.

Hi Ann!
I am a student at Vanderbilt and am working on a project pertaining to eye care, education and libraries. We are coming up with a business that aims to provide high quality, low cost glasses to young kids. We thought about putting pop-up glasses stores in libraries so that it was convenient for families and fun for kids. What do you think? Any ideas or concerns are greatly appreciated.
