Special Sizing is About More than the Perfect Fit

According to the National Down Syndrome Society, 60-80% of people with Down syndrome report some form of eye disease. In fact, they are more likely than the general population to need prescription eyewear. Despite this, people with Down syndrome often struggle to find eyewear that properly fits their faces. Since they’re more likely to have broad bridges on their nose, the average frame has a tendency to slip down and rest on their cheeks, which increases the chances of them falling off and breaking. It also impacts the wearer’s balance and ability to run. No more squinting and blurry vision from smudged lenses!

As the mass production of standardized frames becomes more popular, it has become significantly more difficult for people that require specialty-sized frames (i.e., those with Down syndrome) to find the glasses they need. At Eyeconic® we believe everyone has a right to see, which means making sure that everyone’s glasses fit their face. That’s why our low bridge glasses feature a large nose pad, which better ensures they sit properly on your face.

Eyeconic is committed to making vision possible for all types of faces. Along with low bridge glasses, we also offer:

Shop Glasses for a Larger Fit

If you have a larger head, Eyeconic has a large selection of oversized frames, which are an excellent choice for those who find that smaller glasses tend to pinch or squeeze their faces.

Shop Glasses for Smaller Faces
For some people, glasses always seem to be too large for their face or tend to easily slip down or off. Eyeconic has a collection of glasses specifically chosen for those with smaller faces.

If you or someone you love requires specialty-sized glasses, Eyeconic is a great place to search for your next pair of frames. When it comes to our eyes, no one should ever have to settle for less than perfect.
