My twins get there glasses next week, They are only 11 months old. Has anyone else's babies had to have glasses at a young age?
POSTED BY: mrfun1981 1 month, 2 weeks agoOne of our twins was born with a very bad squint in her eye & the other eye doesn't look outwards at all. So she has been under the hospital since a very earlier age. At about 6months was told that she would need glasses sometime soon'ish becasue she is long sighted .
so we got the GP to refer the other twin an after 2 visits, one today (which both of them got seen) we were told that the other twin is long sighted & will need to have glasses as well so they decided that they are both old enough to have them. The glasses have been ordered & we are to get them early next week for both of them
I no there are clips that go over the ears that are meant to stop the babies pulling the glasses off, but over time they will learn ways off getting them off.
Im just wondering what other peoples experiences are of trying to get there babies to keep glasses on, is it as hard as im thinking it will be or is it easy & normal babies take to them
Plus having twins im used to people stopping me in the street to look at twins, but that has slowly died down. But im going to prob get it all over again once they start wearing there glasses. I can just picture it, an people saying how do you know they need glasses at a young age etc

What they say should be ignored, it's not important. People stop and stare at my kid, I don't blame 'em though "He ugly".

well firstly no mine didnt so young although my son has had since age 4. Neice had very young before age 2-and yes she kept them on! it takes a little time to get used to them anyway and they wont expect them to wear them all the time im sure-just as much as possible without upsetting them! Im sure you know lots of distraction tactics! The glasses can have a wire on the backs-and they are ever so tiny! I get sons from Specsavers who are brilliant for kids as they always do a second pair within a few weeks on a repair voucher, and you need the spare. They make them now with Mr Men and alkinds of trims to appeal (I know yur babies are a little young but they will learn im sure. They can tell they need glasses from the shape of the eye when they look into it. And i wouldnt be thinking about what people say as im sure they will look sooo cute!!! Iv got the twins glasses ordered from Specsavers to the stuff in there were very nice & help full

son since 4 but tbh its a good thing...brother just qualified as an optician and he said should have taken son earlier cos the ealrier they start on glasses the better..ie their eyes have a chance of getting better apparently!

UPDATE: My twins get there glasses earlier 2day, Holly Has taken her her glasses she has not even tried taking them off yet which im very surprised with!!! But at least that is one easy child but Rosie is totally different within a few seconds of the glasses being out on she had completely taken them off. we have tried a few times to put them back on but she just keeps crying & screaming. i guess it going to be hard work getting her to keep them on.  |
