I know I have gone through two eye doctors and our first one was not that great for us. We love our new doctor and would recommend him to anyone. Just a thought.

I am pleased to report that from the moment they have been placed on his beautiful little face, he has not flinched or tried to remove them. I am in total shock as this is so against his nature. Just shows me how little he must have seen before and that they are clearly making a difference for him. I also had his twin brothers on side to tell him how great he looks every time we put them on… It is nice to see the little smile come to his face when he hears them… I forgot to mention that we got Kaelen’s glasses yesterday so I was rapidly reading up your website for hints and tips on how to keep them on, how to appease them, how to reward them etc etc and I truly thought that we would be returning to the store for repairs by today…..

Also, another brand of eyeglasses that I recommend is Miraflex. That's the brand that my daughter wears, and it's been great - flexible, not expensive, and lots of cute colors. We also found some great elastic ties at the fabric store to use to tie her glasses to her head. The elastic band that came with her glasses has a "buckle" on it for adjustment and probably is not comfortable when she's sitting in her carseat or leaning her head back anywhere.
