Where are Your Glasses?

Do you have a child who has to wear glasses?

I know I started at an early age and HATED it!
My glasses fell off (oops) every chance I had.
Then my mother put the dreaded granny chain on them. Oh that was delightful in school!

Well Randy Kazandy also has to wear glasses.
And he does not like it either.

But his mom knows how to stay one up on Randy and has many pairs of glasses for him. It is fun to see all the ways Randy decides to get rid of his glasses. But know he adjust with the help of his exasperated m0ther and his helpful father.

This is a delightful book to share with your child. Especially if they are new to glasses. I especially enjoy the website that goes along with the book. There they have fun and games for kids. And the story of Helen Keller, one of my heroes!
Your child can also send an email to Randy with any questions, comments or ideas about their glasses and sight. In addition to children's poetry and Randy on YouTube. Just an all around fun site. So pop over and check them out. And get this book for your new glasses owner!

I Can See Clearly Now

My mom is 75 now. And a couple of years ago her eye doctor told her she was forming cataracts. And now I really think it is time to look into it. At the time the doctor told her he said we had to wait til they were bad before anything would be done about it. I don't know why. Well now she does not see the digital clock in the van. And she is always saying a color is darker than it really is. I need her to go and get checked out but she will fuss about the money. New glasses cost so much. I know that we can get most of the eye exam paid for. And I think I have figured out how to circumvent the cost of the glasses.

Frames are always the most expensive part. And we need to look into cheap (frugal) eyeglasses. I found where we can now order them online. Who knew? And cooler yet they have a way to "virtually" try them on. Yeah! You can see what they would look like on you. Pretty cool huh? Also they do the bi-focal, tinted lenses, the whole nine yards. I was hoping this may be a way to get my mom back into the eye doctor.
