[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 134505, member: 1233"] Totoro, Get the flexible bendy glasses. They are SO worth it with a little one. Again, take no prisoners was my approach - you have glasses (now contacts) they better be in place. All waking hours. PERIOD. We did work up to them. Started with 2 hours, worked up. We started difficult child in wire frames, the flexons just were WAY out of our grad school budget. Anyway, the trick is to keep the bribes freshand interesting AND to make sure that the glasses are comfortable and CLEAN. The premoistened wipes are great while you travel or are away from home. At home I use a spray bottle with alcohol in it. It hasn't damaged any of my coatings so far. Ammonia will damage coatings. If you need another source for glasses, please read the blog on [URL="http://www.glassyeyes.com"]www.glassyeyes.com[/URL] and check out [URL="http://www.zennioptical.com"]www.zennioptical.com[/URL] or the optical places on glassyeyes. I bought my rimless glasses 3 years ago from Zenni. I have had to replace the screw at one temple and tighten them periodically. I also paid $15 for a 5 minute adjustment at a local optical place when I got them. (They really dogged the quality, said that theirs were SOOO much better. But these are in good shape after 3 years,and I am not very gentle on them.). The coating on the piece that goes over the ear was broken at the first adjustment. because they were $59 (and I have a very high power and lots of astigmatism), there was no replacement plan. The entire coating came off a month ago, so it is just a wire. For me, no biggie. For a kid it might be a problem. I am not sure what your insurance covers. I think for a kid a pair from Zenni or another online place might be a good thing to keep put up incase seh loses or breaks a pair. Or if she wants a stylin' pair you could get them online. I am sorry she has so much trouble with her eyes. I hope the glasses help. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
