My 4 yr old daughter has been wearing glasses since she was 1 yrs old. We have ordered all her frames online and have had a very postitive experience so far (extremely cost effective and quality product). Her first 3 eyeglass frames were Fisher-Price Eyewear by ClearVision Optical (sizes run from birth to 6). They have a good selection especially if you are looking for cable temples. It is amazing how fast children grow. My daughter is now on her fourth pair of glasses. We wanted to stick to a certain type of frame (plastic w/cable temples) that Fisher-Price didn’t offer past a certain size. I saw Tomato Glasses mentioned on this website, so I checked out their website. Their frames don’t have cable temples, but their temples do hook around the ears in a similar fashion. It has been a month since my daughter started wearing her Tomato frames, and we are extremely pleased. They are cute, very light weight, very flexible, and very durable. I think their sizes range from birth to 12 yrs old, maybe a little older. I hope this post will be helpful to someone.

My daughter is now two and we are looking to upgrade her to the next lafonte frame.

My child get his glasses from Solo Bambini. http://www.solobambini.com. They seemed to have a good selection online and when I called a young lady let me know that they actually have a store with thousands of beautiful children’s frames. They emailed me my pictures after I gave them some measurements and I was able to find a beautiful pair for my son. They were very easy to work. Check them out! I highly recommend!!

i just went to tomatoeye.com their webpage has a link to buy them on ebay they have a few sizes and they have all measurements on the webpage, she would need the smallest same as my girl which is the size 37 these glasses really are great mine got crushed at chilcare between metal beds and i managed to bend them back into shape. when they arrived i just took them local to get lenses for them, these frames are shaped so you dont have to buy the high index lenses either, i put 1.56 index in them and they still look thin.
hope that helps
lisa

Did you use someone local to get the lenses fitted ?

We just got glasses for our 18 month old and after one day the hinges are broken, thankfully we got two for ones from Specsaver but are thinking we will have to get something more durable. We really liked the look of the TomatoEye glasses. Can you tell me how you went about ordering them how did you get the measurements correct so they fit well and had the lens correctly aligned.

Thanks
Jodi

yes i have ordered from them i got a pair with just clear lenses, no complaints, but they did take 2 weeks to arrive, they only had one pair that were small enough to fit my girl she is only 22 months old, the best i have found so far are tomatoeye , the bendable titanium glasses are alright but my girl has still managed to snap 2 pairs so far the plastic ones from tomatoeye have lasted the longest
cheers
lisa
