Please visit our new website:

http://www.babieswithglasses.org

We created this site as a resource for parents, grandparents, and other family members and friends of babies, infants, toddlers and young children with glasses, or who may need glasses, to share experiences and tips. It is also a gatewa y to other resources that may be useful to this group. The site went live on October 6, 2005, and is still in its very early stages.

Some history behind the site:

My wife and I had a baby boy last year who was born two months early. He's doing really well now, but one of the challenges he has overcoming poor vision due to being born early. Because of severe farsightedness he's worn glasses since he was 3 months old.

Most people don't know that babies can wear glasses and we often encounter folks who think we put the glasses on him as a joke. We also found that there was very little information available about infants and glasses.

Because of this, my wife and I (OK, mostly me) put together a new website: http://www.babieswithglasses.org using the Joomla content management system and Simple Machines Forum.

I've been working on it in my spare time over the past month and have most of the bugs worked-out. It's my first experience using a content management system, and I must say it waaaaaay easier than building everything from scratch. I may convert my primary site over to Joomla as well.
