In November we found out our 4 year old daughter needed glasses. She came to live with us at the end of July from another student’s family; which had been taken care of for 18 months at that time. I was a little disappointed to hear the condition of his bad eye; 20/40 in one eye and 20/60 in the other, but trusting the glasses make all the difference for her.
When in foster care, a Georgia child is covered by Medicaid, so the glass panels are not all made up. big We thought it would be the best of the two chosen and waited for their arrival.
On Christmas Eve 2008 the glasses arrived. The first night the little one sat down and watched TV for the first time. All that was missing! I was hoping that they would continue in the glasses.
That hope lasted for about three weeks. I manage to lose the lens. We had a new command. These are the ones that anyone should be born with. About two weeks after the whole body was broken. Medicaid pays for one pair of glasses per year, so we went to Lenscrafters and bought a pair of glasses that fit better.
Over the next eight months we went through seven other pairs of glasses. We’ve been at Lenscrafters about every week getting the frames adjusted, we’ve replaced the lens. I was almost a genius when I saw a pair of the most beautiful glasses in the little boy’s house. They are made of rubber.
On my next visit to the doctor at eye doctor I was pleasantly surprised when the doctor handed me information about the glass plates. we saw in a little boy.
The boards of the company Miraflex. Their flexible and safe boards have no metal parts or hinges and are safe and comfortable for babies, toddlers, and those with special needs. These glasses come in sizes to fit children from the age of 3 months to between years. It is double the different shapes and the multiple colors they have chosen.
We left the doctor’s prescription with a new eye glasses appointment and headed to one of the two stores in our area that carry them. admits It took five years to review all available colors and styles. He arranged the tables in a pink rectangle. The cups are not cheap, I spent about $200 dollars on them; But I gave this, because I had to buy another pair every month, $200 was a good investment.
We have had the cups for about a month now. So far we have not lost any glasses, nor have we damaged them in any way. Without a hinge, there is no eye pad, and the fabric for the glasses in this bin only comes out while they are being taken.
If you find yourself with a little one who loses or looses their glasses check out www.miraflex.info. The site shows you the available colors and shapes and also has a locator available. If you can’t find a store near you, give your eye doctor a tip and check with them to see if they sell glasses in your area.
I only look forward to buying glasses once a year!
