Glasses

What is the common theme in these pictures?







Well, the title should give it away, but Noah is not wearing his glasses!  He found them on his face and he does not want them there!!  I put them on, he takes them off.  I put them on, he takes them off.  Over and over and over.  He has miraflex glasses currently and at first Noah didn't care about them and they were fine.  And I feel his development really progressed after he got them.  He could see!  But now they are too close to his face; a lot of the time they are smushed up against his eyeballs!  They aren't made for a baby with Down syndrome.  Perfect for babies but Noah has a flat bridge to his nose and a wide face.  Because the glasses are plastic, you can only do so much with them.  Why don't they have nose pads?  Or an option to add them?  They just aren't working anymore.  Oh, I feel they also pull his ear down.
So, we are in the process of getting Spec4Us glasses.  These are glasses that are specifically designed for children with Down syndrome.  They are wider and have nose pads, but they are also metal so they aren't as durable as miraflex.  We have gone twice to try them on because the first time Noah still wanted to sleep and was not happy.  The second time was better, although he will still threw them off as soon as we got them on. We had a concern because Noah has such a flat bridge to his nose that the pads are very close to his eyeballs and one wrong move and they'd be in there, so they are going to order us a nose strap, which is great!  My other concern is they are so wide, wider than Noah's face!  But they can adjust that too.  They will also replace the back of the glasses with plastic "hooks" basically that make them go around his ears and then will add a strap to that.  The strap is different than the miraflex one, which is just fabric.  I guess these ones are more like fishing line with a really strong magnet that attaches them and makes them adjustable.  
They are going to order all of this for us plus a couple pair of glasses in his sizes and colors we like and we'll see how it all works out. It may be a few weeks but I'll post them once we figure it all out!
