The day a parent discovers, that their child has poor vision may feel helpless... However, we want you to be relieved that you discovered this today. Because today is a new beginning for your child's better vision.
Tomoto Glasses is a story about the love of a parent for their child and the extreme they have gone to, to find perfect.
Our journey started when I noticed that may 24 month old son’s eyes were not aligning correctly. Our trip to the ophthalmologist confirmed Accommodative Esotopia. His condition Hyperopia is a result of a small eye, which caused his eyes to strain so much that they crossed and eventually one eye became Iazy.
The only correction was to wear thick convex lenses and to wear an eye patch to prevent a lazy eye known as Amblyopia. The limited choice of frames on the market with the nose pads were only in metal. They were heavy and bulky and constantly kept falling off his face. Compliance was poor as my son refused to wear them due to the discomfort and weight.
His condition worsened. There was nothing available that could cater for a small child’s head with a flat bridge. My disappointment was such that I was compelled to make his frames on my own.
This sparked the beginning of Tomato Glasses: a company and product born out of the affection and love I have for my child. His vision improved and with the help of surgery his vision is now normal. I am glad I did not give up on him and ever so grateful that the Tomato glasses helped him.
I am also humbled to know that my passion and love for my son is now making and supporting other children and parents across the globe that require custom fitted, lightweight and comfortable glasses.
Children can now leave these spectacles on, with amazing success and great comfort. Tomato glasses are frames that fit to a child’s face rather than the child fitting to them.
We, Tomato Glasses, will continue to make children’s frames so that we can make children and their parents happy.
