Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Patty now wears transition lenses and I like them better. Costs less too than prescription glasses and prescription sunglasses. Hats are just as important. Bonnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 we have transitions and still not strong enough in direct sun. I was thinking of trying something like the Oakley wrap arounds and putting in reg. prescription lenses. The side light really can hurt. ps transitions in plastic designer frames were close to 400 dollars so they were not a cheaper option by any means. marisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Aubrie does great with transition lenses. She's had them for several years. At first, the eye dr didn't recommend them cuz he thought she wouldn't deal with the adjustment time, would have a hard time with coming in from outside with the darkness and her balance issues, etc. But the optician and I decided to try it. We could do it on a trial basis and go back to clip on sunglasses if we needed to. So -- we did it and it's great!! I wouldn't go back to separate sunglasses.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hello, My name is and I am a mother of an undiagnosed child. I have joined the group to gain similar things our children may share. My son is 2 1/2 and has worn glasses since he was 4 months. I have always purchased the transitional lenses for him...which he seems to love. He was always sensitive to light so I thought they maybe good for him...they work great!

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 - My daugter has worn sunglasses outside since she was about one. She can't stand the direct sunlight and would bury her face in my shoulder and cry. I bought some children's sunglasses at the store and she kept them on pretty quickly. Like any baby she took them off the first few times but soon figured out they help her. She now wears corrective lenses and we got the transition lenses. We got the darkest ones. I have found that although they change quickly from dark to light it takes longer outside and they don't get as dark as they advertised. I haven't decided what to do about the summer. For now the transition lenses and a floppy hat or a ball cap keeps her happy. Hope this helps. mom to Makenna (4) CHaRgE -- In CHARGE , Jayem14@A... wrote: > Just wondering if any of you have had success with your child wearing > sunglasses and /or did anyone ever purchase the transition glasses for their child. > We were thinking of getting the transition glasses since he wears > regular corrective glasses presently, but not sure how the children react to > them. does not wear corrective glasses like Matt so we were just going > to purchase child-friendly sunglasses because the sun is really affecting > them outside.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 , MacKenzie had Transition lenses for a time, but they simply didn't get dark enough. She now has regular rx sunglasses with the darkest tint possible. She also always wears a wide brimmed hat to prevent the sun from coming over top of her glasses.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 wears baseball caps alot - it is actually in his IEP that he is allowed to wear them when outdoors at school, however he doesn't like to bother as the teachers on recess duty don't know and tell him to take it off, plus the other kids aren't allowed so he stands out. But it is nice to know if he wanted to, he could wear one. - mom to Charger (9) and Cameron (5) Jayem14@... wrote: Just wondering if any of you have had success with your child wearing sunglasses and /or did anyone ever purchase the transition glasses for their child.
