Glasses

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

Are there any parents out there whose child is around 17 months and

they have to wear glasses? If so, what kinda comments are you

hearing. My Rose has been wearing them since she was 4 months

old and some of the comments I hear....I just wanna scream. I expect

little kids not to understand why, but adults. Sometimes it is very

frustrating. I hate when someone asks me...What's wrong with her? I

just wanna answer nothing what's wrong with you!!! People look at me

like I am a monster for putting glasses on her!! The one question

that really kills me is: Does she really need those?

Hi its Clare - herts UK, here. Hope you are all well. I am short sighted in one eye and far sighted in the other eye!! it is quite funny. I have heard the spring loaded frames are good too for kids, emy didnt have glasses when she was a little person like kirsten, so im not speaking from experience. Its great she is looking forward to it. Love and light to you and your family. Clare and emy <parsonsfamily108@...> wrote: Hi allI have recently been advised that Kirsten (4) will need glasses. She is apparently short-sighted, yet at the same time cannot see small details close up either! She has an astigmatism in both eyes which may explain some of it, but to be both short and far-sighted at the same time I didn't think was possible. Her prescription is around -2.5 and has been fairly stable until this last check-up.My question is, of the kids that are wearing glasses, how often do their glasses need changing? I was told that Kirsten's eye prescription may change up to 6 months after eyelid surgery and so it may not be worth getting glasses before that. She will be properly tested in December and we will get glasses after that. She seems happy with the idea, especially as I wear glasses.And secondly, I have been told frames with sprung arms are

useful for kids. Any tips that I should look out for when getting glasses for Kirsten? TaRegards ParsonsHarrogate, UK
