April 15, 2008 was the day Cambria was diagnosed with albinism and she got her first pair of glasses (at just 12 weeks old)!
She keeps them on just fine, but they will need a slight adjustment to the nose guard to keep them up. They were able to put the ear wraps on them so the stay put!
Such cute details!
April 2009 a new prescription and a slightly bigger frame.
April 2010- same prescription, but 2 new pairs of glasses. We are thankful that her vision isn't getting worse at this point and she was able to keep the same prescription. Her old glasses' 2 year warranty was up- meaning we'd have to pay for any adjustments or fixes (her glasses are over $400 and insurance pays $0). If you've had a toddler with glasses you know you need the warranty (covers anything that happens to them), so now is a good time to get a new pair and thanks to a punch card (you earn money toward a new pair after you spend a certain amount) from the place we buy them we were able to get a second pair for $30 (without the transition). We will be gone before the warranty is up, so I figured let's just get them now! I was excited to pick them out.
At 12 weeks old you only have 4 styles to pick from- I got the smallest pair they had and as you can tell in the picture they were still big. I wanted to try a plastic pair to see if they were more comfortable than dealing with the constant changes of the nose guard. This is the smallest plastic pair they have and I've wanted them for her since the first time I ordered her first pair, and they finally fit (well almost).
She keeps them on just fine, but they will need a slight adjustment to the nose guard to keep them up. They were able to put the ear wraps on them so the stay put!
Such cute details!
Of course we need a pair of wired frames- this time a slightly different shape and purple. The magenta pair on not transition, they work well for her inside and on extremely cloudy or dark days (and will be nice for pictures outside in shaded places), so this little purple pair will probably get much more use. She squints alot or just shuts her eyes if it is really bright, so she really needs the transition if she is outside- this picture was taken after being outside so the transition had not completely changed when I took this.
