Some do, I just have not found super glue strong enough to keep s on (Joking). He whips them suckers off faster than anything I have ever seen. Long as I watch him like a hawk and say "no you don't" when he goes to take them off, he keeps em on. Unfortunately I have laundry to do, dishes to wash... Etc... lol

Ditto! Whoever said that I got used to them? I just sit 18" away from my computer screen and tilt my head as I look down my nose at the posts. Seriously, my 9.5 year old showed me how to tilt the monitor so that I would not have to get a crick in my head from tilting. <g> Old people and computers!I had two pairs of glasses, added bifocals because my arms were not long enough to read the paper anymore, kept my single vision sunglasses for 3 years but finally broke down this past summer and got bifocal sunglasses so I could read on the beach. I could not even read the radio dials in the car. Can't you see me stopped for speeding telling the officer that I cannot see how fast I was going due to the fuzzy vision caused by my bifocals? That would be an interesting ticket! Who'd have thought that 47 was old, for crying out loud?!Angelina has had her bifocals since she was 2 and a half and adjusted to them within 24 hours. Never tripped over her feet once. She just kept taking them off for the first year until she realized she could see things better. She thought they were a toy. We are seriously looking into the Specs4us frames for her so that she will stop perching them on the end of her nose like a little granny and looking over them. She has that charming schoolmarm look going for her. , mom to Angelina (6 yrs, Ds), pro-life and voting for the McCain/Palin ticket without reservation~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In DownSyndromeInfoExchange , "~ Romero~" wrote:I hate bifocals!

…I know you have thought of this…but are you sure that they

are the right strength for him? Seems like if they helped him, he would keep

them on? Danny got his first pair of glasses when he was 22 months old, and I never

had a problem with him keeping them on (and I really thought I would, because

he HATED having stuff on his face ever since he had an NG as a baby)

I felt so guilty when he got his first pair, because once he had

them on, he just started at everything like he could finally actually SEE, and I

was sorry that it had taken me so long to realize that he needed them so badly.

He always puts his glasses on first thing in the morning…he used to call them

his ‘eyes’
