My daughter started wearing glasses at 8 months old. She has
strabismus and a lazy eye. We went to pick glasses for her and we fell in love
with the first pair of glasses she tried on. They were simple, small red round
glasses. They fit her little face so well and she looked like a doll. Now, of
course, she kept taking them off during her “adaptation” period. We constantly
put them back on but it did happen (4 times in 4 months actually) that she
broke part of the glasses. The glasses were super cute but the end of them
curled behind her ears and it often broke (she pulled on them and the ends
would detach).
So we got tired… we decided to get Bam’boo glasses. These
are European glasses for kids. They have bigger lenses and they seem to fit
better around the eye. They are also made of plastic and they are flexible
which makes it very hard to break while bending, stretching or walking on them.
They also have elastic (protected by plastic) behind them which goes around
your baby’s head. It keeps them more straight (no falling off their nose) and
if they try and remove them, it usually sticks around their necks and not fall
on the floor. I prefer them much more and apparently do does Emma. Hopefully it
motivates her to keep them on!
