If you have a child with Down syndrome whos wheres glasses, this is definately worth looking into. I know my Christopher has a terrible time keeping his on his nose, they are definately not comforatble to him.


I will be looking into these, and if I find out more I will pass it along.




*****************************************************************************
SPECS4US was created and founded in 2004 by Maria Dellapina with over 25 years in the optical industry and the mother of a four-year-old with Down Syndrome. She saw a definite need for this frame line. After two years of searching for an eyeglass frame to fit her daughter, Erin, Maria decided to use her knowledge as both an optician and mother to help Erin and others like her.



“Erin’s World” is the frame line specially designed to fit children with Down syndrome superior to the typical frame. Unlike other frames, the bridge is adjusted to fit on their smaller noses and the temples (some people call them arms) are designed to help keep the glasses from constantly slipping. These frames come in 5 styles and each style comes in 3 colors and sizes.
