We are a glasses household as Josh got his glasses last week.

However we are struggling to get him to look through the glass and not over or under them.

Anyone have any advice on how to keep the glasses on his face, and for him to look through the glass.

I am constantly having to push Charlys up her nose cos she looks over them...mind you, Ialso do that, so she is probably copying!! I have a wee thing round them so if they come off they don't fall and break and I keep that really tight, keeps them up a wee bit too, but mainly I just hae to keep reminding her to look through them. They do get teh hang of it! You might find it makes him feel a wee bit sick? I certainly feel a bit woozy when I change prescriptions for a few days!
Good luck and he looks so, so cute in them!

Noone else has ideas for 3 year olds and glasses???

Annie I think Charly is like Josh and does copy me doing that.

We have that problem also DS3 got his first pair on his 2nd b'day he is 4yrs now & I take them in to get shaped & tighten regularly. He has straps on the back but the last pair he got are a lot thinner & they done fit his ear properly.

They make little short lenses & really they need to be bigger & the arms set a bit lower.

It is really hard to get the perfect pair for him due to face changing I think. He looks over them as they slide down his nose. I think they really needed the curled ends around the ears to hold them correctly.

He has a eye check coming up & we will get him new glasses after that. We have checked out one that sit really good & they are the round Harry Potter ones as he can not look over them...he liked them I was a bit...not Harry potter, lol, so will check them out again for is next pair.

Fist pair we go was from OPSM & they were $400 but really good for a 2yr old.

clearly contacts had some really good deals on & I got frames from them sent to me but could not get the lenses as they don't have the one he needs, but had to send them back as they didn't fit even with the measuring done from the eye specialised.

We went from eye shop to eye shop looking at straps & got a few different ones but the ones that would of been the best for us are the ones they have on the baby sunglasses but we could not buy them anywhere.
