Make a game out of wearing glasses

It can be very overwhelming for a child to suddenly have to wear glasses on a daily basis, especially if none of the friends wear glasses. We have put together a number of products on our website that can make it more fun and exciting for the child to wear glasses. It can help motivate their interest in engaging in their vision therapy by wearing glasses. View our smart ‘Glasses charms’, ‘Glasses cases’ or ‘Glasses holders’.

Children with glasses AND an eye patch

Often children do not only need to wear glasses to correct their vision impairment, but also need to wear an eye patch, as part of their vision therapy treatment. We have the largest selection of fabric eye patches and adhesive eye patches for children and adults within the EU.
