Christmas Gift Idea for The Oldest?

11.05.2011 by Girl on Fire // 5 Comments

Morgan is 13 and is so into fashion.  Her appearance seems to be so important to her.  She has started hating the fact that she wears glasses.  She want’s contacts, but that isn’t going to happen.  Her eye issue is more than just vision and she would require special contacts…with a special high dollar price that most people can not afford.  We are at the top of that most people list.

So I have been thinking of ways to ease her pain, although I think she looks great in glasses.  I was thinking maybe it might be a cool idea to get her a few different pairs of glasses so that she could have a different look depending on what she was wearing. Wouldn’t that be cool?  Now way back when, that would not have been an affordable option!  These days we have Zenni Optical!

By shopping at Zenni Optical for her eyeglasses I can totally afford to get her a few different pairs for Christmas! She is due for her eye exam this month too!  So, I’ll have her updated RX.  The only other thing I would need is the measurements and that’s it!  Find some frames that are cool and enter the info.  What do you think?  Do you think that is a good idea?  Maybe it will liven her up a bit.

    That would be a good idea. Every few years, I get new glasses with a different shape. They can be a great fashion accessory instead of a fashion don’t for her. Also, I was wondering about the contacts. My friend took her son for a contact lens fitting along with his eye exam. The optometrist’s office gave him a pair of contacts to practice with (he couldn’t get the hang of putting them in). If he could put them in his eyes, he could wear the practice pair. How would they fit your daughter? Wouldn’t they have to give you the practice lenses, too?
