Care to offer any optical opinions--please?


Okay. Stas needs glasses. Fun! Not really. You see Ricky was 9 months when he started wearing them and wasn't coordinated enough to know how to take them off, thus, he got used to them. Stas will not keep them on, but we must try, right?

So, I know the pictures aren't clear (because I had to take them so quick before he ripped them off!!!) but please offer me your opinion on which glasses color and shape you like the best.

Thanks.
I wish this was a better picture of these blue ones in this shape. I like them.


My kids voted this green pair. The bummer is that they won't match his outfits as nice! Ricky and Stas share everything and all of their clothing is blue. (The difficulties that vanity brings!)


Bright blue. Not the same as Ricky's.


Bright, light blue.



Keep in mind that Ricky has this pair.......

Feel free to sign up as a follower....Jodi has more than me....not that it is a competition -)

  1. The green ones are my favorite, but if you're going for blue then the top ones.

  4. I like the light blue!

    It is well-known in the DS community that there is a a magic "window" for glasses wearing (and hearing aids) and kids with DS. Either get them on the kid before a year old, or don't bother until sometime after age 4. Its that "throw" factor! Here's the thing...he can't SEE with them on! When you put them on, he can't see with them. His brain is used to processing information a certain way, it can't process the information with the new lesses so he can't see with them, so he's going to throw them. Assuming he's farsighted like most kids with DS, wearing them for 10 minutes at a time and working up isn't going to do much for him. (although your eye doctor will likely tell you differently! Dr. P. at Northwest Eye clinic will NOT!) As soon as that 10 minutes is up his brain is going to say, THANK GOD and go back to processing the way it was. The fastest way to glasses wearing is to find a way to keep them on as long as possible, (duct tape?????) preferably all day long, as soon as possible, so the brain starts to process the new way of seeing and STOP processing the information incorrectly.

    What'd you do, have sweet Lizzy click it 400 times!?

    Cheat.

  14. Who me...what do you mean "have sweet Lizzy"...she can be a cheat all by herself. By the way, silly Lizzy, when she kindly signed on as a follower yesterday on your blog, she didn't realize that she didn't sign on as MY follower. So we took care of that. Whew! oops...does that leave you behind me now...darnit...I didn't mean to do that to you.

  15. You girls are a hoot! LOL!!

    I choose the green ones. Way to cute. Do they also come in another color that they could order if you do not like green? The second blue ones look somewhat like the green ones but for some reason the green just looked cuter. LOL!

    Hey I did not know how to find all these numbers either.
