Solo Bambini Glasses

As special needs teachers we get asked questions about all sort of topics.  After all special needs teachers are generalists who need to know a little bit about and awful lot, and a LOT about quite a few things.  Glasses for children with special needs is one of those things that comes up.  Here are some places you may want to direct parents.

Unbreakable Glasses 

• Miraflex's Flexible and Safe frames are solid, flexible, unbreakable for infants to older children and at least one style for adults.  
• Solo Bambini offers solid, one piece, flexible, unbreakable glasses for babies through adults. These glasses are also non-magnetic and thus can be worn in MRI machines and by those with programmable shunts or VNS devices.  They also offer other styles and brands of pediatric glasses.

• Tomato Glasses are light, adjustable,  flexible, shockproof, non-slip and retain the shape of the wearer.  Sizes in infant through adult.

Other Special Needs Glasses

• Bans offers children's glasses frames in sizes from infant to age 5.  You can have your eye doctor change the lenses. These glasses have a neoprene band to hold them in place instead of arms.  A full array of sunglasses with neoprene bands, including infant sizes available as well.  Also swimming goggles and prescription swimming goggles.  (And hearing protection.)
• Spokiz has Rx glasses and sunglasses with special inter-changable flexible arms they call bands.  They are supposed to be non-slip, extra durable and help to avoid pressure points.
• Specs4Us has glasses in all sizes which are specifically designed for children and adults with Down Syndrome.

Accessories

• Ficklets are glasses charms, super cute and fun!
• Templelocks slide over the end of the arm of your glasses to help stop them from slipping.
• Croakies makes a wide range of glasses straps and retainers and other accessories for kids and adults.
