A while back I saw a picture of glasses fitted with "crutches" for the eyes. As I can't seem to do a "find" I am unable to locate this picture. Can anyone help? GA in Georgia |

Hi Gayle
I'll post them again....they were pictures that were posted a few years back. I need to put them in the photo albums but just haven't gotten around to making up a new album to put them in. Isn't going to happen today either. :-) Hope this helps.. Shirley in New Mexico back from a trip to Arkansas to see her son. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thank you Shirley for your pictures. I have found a place that can either make or order them. I'm going to give them a try. Especially want to try to use when driving. Thanks, again. Happy Holidays |

You're welcome Gayle. The BEBRF also has information regarding the crutches so you might email them for information or give them a call if you have any trouble getting them made. Best of luck...let us know how it works out...I'm sure that others would also be interested. Shirley in New Mexico |

Can anyone advise where I can purchase "crutches" for my glasses? Is the idea of crutches to keep the eyes open when they attempt to close? Any information is appreciated. Carl |

I understand an eye doctor makes the crutches for you Carl, specifically for your glasses, and yes they are meant to keep your eyelids open. I remembers years ago reading that `props' for the eyes were available to buy in the U.K. but have never seen them for sale in Canada or heard of them in the U.S. I hope someone that has had crutches made willrespond to your post. Good luck. June in Toronto |

I am also keen on finding out how to get crutches made, or where to buy them. Thanks Pete |

Not all opticians do this but you may be able to find one in your town that does.
I researched this for another patient and found that they be ordered from Rochester Optical in Rochester, New York. You can call and speak to Randy Rich (585) 254-0132. He can answer your questions. good luck! Nilda Rendino |

I have tried the crutches but found them cumbersome and uncomfortable. It is very important you work with someone knowledable because the placement of the crutches are very important. I was able to get them at the Cleveland Clinic. Very difficult to find |
