Have you tried seeing if they have sport glasses (goggle type) in her size? It would help at least until you find ones that would work better and she can't break them. Good luck!

I just found a website that has the elastic ones. Pretty reasonable prices too.

J.,
I did some searching on the internet for you and found a website that does sell the straps you are talking about. It is www.getsafensound.com. They sell something for hearing aids as well but they did say they make the straps for infant glasses. I hope this helps you and good luck!

Keep trying to make her wear them, every time that she takes them off, put them back on again, even if you do this all day. Eventually she will get tired of the little game and keep them on. It might take more than a day of trying but it is well worth the effort. Good luck and don't give up.

Well, I had the same problem with my two year old, I had lost the srtap that they originally gave me, and they did not carry those anymore, I went to a CVS Pharmacy like a week ago and they HAD them, so maybe you cantry the pharmacies around your neiborhood. Hope this help

You may want to try http://www.babybanz.com and get her used to wearing glasses that she can't take off. I also found Croakies for kids which are bands that can be used with eyeglasses and sunglasses - http://www.croakies.com/eyewearretainers/eyewearsport/cro...

As far as the OB nurse goal (mine is to be a midwife) - there is a great online option which has been helpful to me in pursuing my RN: www.riosalado.edu

Best of luck!

Ok well your doctor is crazy all children are farsited My doctor told me that. He said until the age of two all children will not see right. But I know what you are going through my 4 yr old has glasses her vision was just too far beyond the normal farsitedness. any way your best bet is to call all pedeactric eye doctor other than yours and see if they can't tell you where to go or call your insurance company and they will tell you where to go.

Hang in there, I too had a 10 month old boy that had to have glasses. Looking back I don't know how I did it! I did not use the strap. Persistance is the key! It gets easier I promise! I remeber I bought his glasses at Target and they hooked around his ears.

Tiffany,
Far-sightedness is not the only vision problem out there. My nephew had a vision problem that had to be surgically corrected when he turned 3--but he had to wear glasses from the time he was about 10 mos. old until he had the surgery.

They used Croakies on his glasses to keep them on.

What about trying a sport's store. Some of them carry the sports strap for infants who do gymnastics.

With my oldest who needed them... it was very hard... I use to put the glasses on him when he would nap and get up in the morning before he actually woke up and then he wouldn't realize that they were on... it takes a lot of time

what if you went to babies r us and bought a pair of infant sunglasses with the strap already on. Maybe you could somehow sew it on to the glass you bought. I bought a pair of glasses there for my sun for the summer time (he's 20 months) and he seems to like them. Good luck!
