I’ve gotten a couple of questions recently about tips on getting kids to wear glasses when they first get them. Yesterday, Rachel wrote: My daugther, who is 19-months old, was diagnosed with Farsightedness in her left eye (+4.00) with her right eye being in the normal range. I have been struggling with so many ofContinue reading “tips on getting started with glasses”

health disclosure
We got a note from daycare the other day about a “stretch and grow” class that Zoe can take at daycare once a week. It sounds like a nice program, it’s not expensive at all, and so we’re going to enroll Z. So I was filling out the enrollment form when I hit the “HealthContinue reading “health disclosure”
Update on Sam’s glasses
Target’s optical shop was open yesterday, Labor Day. The husband took Sam down there to see if the glasses could be fixed. They could not.

The husband ran down to Target in the hopes of a repair, but theContinue reading “It only took 5 months”

She writes about having her optometrist put lenses over her eyes to simulate C’s farsighted prescription. I love the idea ofContinue reading “seeing through their eyes”
Getting glasses for Zoe
Our ophthalmologist recommended that we go to an eyeglasses shop specifically for kids, but as we were leaving her assistant came and found us as we were leaving and told us it’d be cheaper to go somewhere like Sam’s Club. That’s probably true, but we decided that since Zoe was only 14 months, we reallyContinue reading “Getting glasses for Zoe”
