I’ve spent the last fifteen minutes or so showing my daughter M all the pictures of your gorgeous children with glasses. She was thrilled and now wants to meet them all! She kept saying “They’re just like me!”. Although her brother also wears glasses, we don’t know any other children in them and she was so happy to see all these smiling faces!

I’d better check with my husband first, but I’d love to add a picture of them both.

Ann- Thank you so much for running this site. I’ve taken a lot of comfort over the past few weeks in knowing I’m not alone with so many of the fears/feelings/thoughts/concerns I’ve had over my little one’s recent need for glasses. I found your site when I needed it most and cannot thank you enough.

My little 2.8 year old’s first afternoon with glasses. He si diagonised with cylindrical power of
-2.5 in both his eyes. Got him a light weight fibre frame with plastic glasses.
The optician did not however have a string or band to hold the spectacle in place, i am wondering where i can source it or how i can make one?
He is constantly shedding teras since 2 hours from when he is wearing them, is this natural?

I am glad to have found this site, it is very supportive to read of the experiences of other parents & kids. Many thanks

Nethra,

Hi Ann, my name is Chris. I just wanted to let you know how awesome this site is. I’m an Optician from a Optical family. My mom actually ran a Children’s only dispensary for years, so kids and glasses have a special place in my heart. I fully plan on pointing any parent who expresses concern about their kids needing glasses to this blog. It’s truely fantastic. Thank you very much!

I’m so sorry your grandson has a cataract and has needed surgery so young. There are others here who have very young children with cataracts. You can see all of the stories here about cataracts http://littlefoureyes.com/category/cataracts/

You might also look at our list of blogs, quite a few are from families who are dealing with cataracts http://littlefoureyes.com/resources/blogs-about-childrens-vision/

I would also recommend the APHAKIC Support Group (http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/aphakic/) – a support group for parents caring for young children who have had cataracts. Or the PGCFA (Pediatric Glaucoma & Cataract Family Association) http://pgcfa.org/phpBB3/

Best to you and your family!
