Self-portraits of children in glasses

There were some posts in the facebook group recently of pictures that kids had drawn with them in glasses.  They were all just too cute.  With parents’ permission, I thought I’d share them with you all.  I know it was quite a while before Zoe would draw herself with glasses.  It felt like a turningContinue reading “Self-portraits of children in glasses”

Speaking of patch pictures – #camopatchkids Sundays!!

Reader request: pictures of kids with a difference in prescription in each eye

how magnified will my child’s eyes be in glasses?

One question I see a lot is how different will a child’s eyes look when they’re wearing glasses, especially if they have particularly high prescriptions.  It is true that glasses will change the appearance of eyes: nearsighted lenses will make the eyes appear smaller, and farsighted lenses will make the eyes appear larger.  The higherContinue reading “how magnified will my child’s eyes be in glasses?”
