Max's glasses


Max got his glasses a couple of weeks ago. Here he is...


I could not get a picture except of him sticking his tongue out at me (I have several pics and every single one he has his tongue out!) He is laying down in that picture. So the glasses look like they fit fine. But really they slide down his nose pretty bad. More like this...
And they have since gotten worse. I need to get them readjusted. Also thinking about getting the Miraflex ones now as well.

Yes, they are bi-focals. This somehow helps with the one eye that turns in. I sure hope they help! Does looking over them count?!?

Also if you have suggestions, let me know. He does do pretty good at keeping them on but they don't seem to fit him very well. They are the ones specially made for kids with Down syndrome. I tried a strap but he doesn't really like it and just takes it off. Makes me worry about getting the Miraflex ones-- they have to have a strap on them.

Kallie would never tolerate a strap either...We don't get ones "specifically made for kids with DS" but we get ones that have rubber ends so that we can completely bend them to make them shorter. I could take a picture of them if you'd like. Did you have to mail order these glasses? Cause I know LensCrafters(where we get Kallie's) makes sure they fit and don't slide down her nose(cause she has no bridge).
