Hey Mommy Teachers,
I recently came across a REALLY great company that sells quality eyeglasses online at affordable prices. It is called GlassesUsa.com, and this is why I have to
tell you about it:
I have come across several children who were completely capable readers, but their vision was not strong enough to make out the formations of the letters. These sweet students of mine would struggle through sounding out words, not because they couldn’t sound out the words correctly, but because they were “guessing” the wrong letters when they couldn’t quite see them clearly. You might have done the same thing if you have ever been to an eye exam. You squint your eyes and guess what letters you think you see, but it is a little blurry.
Please don’t put your new learner through this stress. Do me a favor…go get your eyes examined and your little one’s eyes examined soon! You can set a great example for your little one doing this with them and there are several books that can build confidence so that your little one will feel so cool wearing glasses. Maybe if you buy glasses you might even be able to read those books to your children without squinting and getting a headache.
If you already have a prescription and would love a new set of frames….go buy glasses now while you can save 10% on your next order with THIS code: Mommy10
They also have a summer sale so you can take $25 off any order of glasses with Transitions lenses with the code: Trans25.
My favorite….They have a fun virtual mirror that allows you to “try on” your glasses before you buy them. You can even send the pictures to your friends!
So, go buy some nice and cheap glasses a little cheaper while you can at GlassesUsa.com.
There is also a program called InfantSEE that provides FREE vision screenings for babies 12 months and younger. http://www.infantsee.org/ Go to their website to find an InfantSee doctor near you… I mean, why not do it? It’s FREE! I took both of my boys around 10 months and got some great tips from the doctor about eye care concerning TV and computers.
Thats good to know! Thanks for sharing that info 🙂
