More things

Below are other sites selling things for kids with glasses (mostly t-shirts and other accessories). I haven’t ordered from any of the places, so I can neither vouch for nor endorse anything listed here, but I wanted to collect them.

Accessories for glasses:

• Ficklets – very fun and very cute charms for kids’ glasses.  A great way to give kids a way to decorate their glasses.  Not for babies or toddlers, though.
• InconSPECuous – a strap to hold the glasses on, designed by a mom of a 2 year old who wears glasses. The strap is designed to be inconspicuous, easy to secure and detach, strong, and safe.

Gear for the kids:

• WeeOnez Animal Alphabet - WeeOnez are super cute animals for each letter of the alphabet, and there’s a version of each animal wearing glasses.  You can get the animal on a shirt, bib, bag, pillow, and lots more!
• Bjort & Company – the makers of the Eye Patch Kids DVD. They have t-shirts and accessories for kids with eye patches, glasses, as well as kids with special dietary needs.
• Babies with glasses – clothing to let people know that the glasses are indeed real, and they’re proud of it.
• 3 Little Monkeys – Shirts For Babies And Kids Who Wear Eyeglasses.
• Nystagmus Awareness Shop – clothing for people with nystagmus from the American Nystagmus Network.  Proceeds from any sales to the American Nystagmus Network and nystagmus research.

Books, DVDs, Videos, etc:

• The Eyepatch Kids – a video with puppets that encourages kids to wear their eye patches, and explains why it’s important for kids to wear their patches.
• Our Journey with Strabismus – a book written by the parents of a young child with recurring strabismus.
