little four eyes

Welcome to the Little Four Eyes list of blogs. Each blog listed is about children in glasses in some way (even if the blog covers other topics as well).  I have tried to list the main vision topics after the title of the blog.  In some cases, I may add a little bit more information about the blog.  The lists are alphabetical by blog title.

This is a work in progress!  Please let me know if anything is out of date or wrong!  If you have a blog, or know of a great blog that should be listed, please let me know!  I’d love if you could include the URL, the name of the blog, and what vision issues it covers.

This list of blogs is split in to two parts, the first are personal blogs about having a child (or children) in glasses or with vision issues.  These are usually written by parents of children with glasses, and while they all post about glasses and vision issues, most post about topics as well.  The second section is for blogs by eye care professionals or others in the field of vision.  The blogs that are included in this section do write about children’s vision issues, but also post about other vision or optical topics.

If you have a blog listed here (or even if it’s not), check out our Little Four Eyes badges for your blog.

• Personal blogs about having kids in glasses or vision issues (usually written by parents)
• Blogs by eye care professionals about children’s vision
• Other blogs of interest blogs related to children’s vision that don’t fit in the above categories.
