A Sneak Peak--- Look at Dennis!

Getting glasses for my son has proved to be harder than I thought. First, I had to find an office that would order special kids glasses for Dennis. Some just were not willing to do a special order. Another thing was finding a doctor willing to put in a slight prescription even though he doesn't need one so that the glasses would be covered by insurance. Thirdly, I wanted an office that was local and could see my whole family as well.

Well, I did find an office that accommodated all of my needs, and we had them order just the frame so we could try it before the lenses were actually put into them. Yesterday, we had a fitting, and the safety glasses just wouldn't stay on his head with the first strap they ordered. So, we decided to order a different strap that also goes over the top of his head so the band that goes around his head won't slip off.

Next week, he will be sporting his protective eye wear! And the best thing--- the exam and glasses only cost us $10.00.


UPDATE*** Just got a call from the doctor's office. The manufacturer doesn't make the special strap for that particular size of goggles. I get to go shopping today to buy my own elastic strap that I get to sew onto the original strap. Yeah for me! Did I mention that I don't sew?
