Hi everyone,
I have a daughter with accomodative esotropia (right eye turns in to accomodate her far-sightedness). Her glasses correct it somewhat but not completely. She's in +4 prescription and we have an appointment with her PO next Wed to decide whether she may need surgery. It's an awfully stressful time and to add to that we've had battles keeping the glasses on and in position. Our battles led to the invention of an inconspicuous strap with a magnetic clasp. It worked really well for Mia she no longer peered over her glasses and we could forget the expense of broken frames / scratched lenses and get on with life!
When Mia's PO saw her "inconSPECuous" retainer she was really excited and she convinced us to patent the design and sell it. It's been on the market now since May and four Australian Optometrists are providing to their kiddy clients. I hope any other parents out there struggling to keep specs on their kids may benefit from inconSPECuous too. Pics on my profile.
Anyway, if you have any questions about the product or about kids and eyeglasses please ask! It can be a stressful adventure when toddler has to wear spectacles.
