I did some online shopping on Saturday and I am really excited about my purchases. These items were recommendations from some moms that have children with Aniridia. I ordered the sunglasses, hat, and Aniridia book from Amazon. The sunglasses were definitely cheaper through Amazon. I ordered the Wee Play in the Dark book from Flaghouse.
Infant sunglasses: With loop to stay on the baby.
Baby play hat: To shield eyes from the sun. I also like that it is SPF 50 and covers the neck.
Book: Wee Play in the Dark by Kristie Smith
For parents! This jargon-free parent’s guide offers early-intervention advice and activities for working at home with infants who are visually impaired. Smith suggests ways to incorporate activities into the child’s daily routine that will help with color and shape recognition, near and distance vision, logical reasoning, tracking and reaching, and other goals. The author also provides a list of supplementary resources for parents.
