The Much Coveted Eye Glass Locator Query

My 7 year old autistic child wears eyeglasses. He needs to wear them all the time which is no surprise considering both my husband and I are essentially blind as bats. He's worn glasses for under a year and I've bought no less than 4 spare pairs (Rx sunglasses and regular ones). He's a seven year old boy. He's rough on things. He's active. And, he is riddled with sensory issues (part of his Autism). We keep his glasses strapped to his head with a sports strap from Chums. In the beginning he tended to lose them a lot and broke a few. It was to be expected. A friend of mine told me that the best thing I could do was keep spares on hand. She was right. We buy him the titanium kind that can supposedly be run over by a car and keep their shape, but still my 7 year old manages to bend them. He also loves to just take them off at any random moment and they vaporize. Hence my repeated blog posts crying for help, we need an eyeglass locator.

On November 14th I learned that the answer to cries for help, does exist.

Eyewhere, Inc

They make an eyeglass locator or finder, as they call it. I need this.

Apparently we are not the only ones who are looking for such a gadget, perhaps for a stocking stuffer? It makes me feel so not alone to see how many others are in the same situation. Occasionally I look at my blog logs to see what people are searching for and there is every permutation of the search possible - these in this past week alone:

eyeglass locator, eyeglasses locator, "eyeglasses locator", eye glass locator, glasses locator, autism glasses oprah, jenny mccarthy's eyeglasses, beeper for lost glasses, bleepers for lost glasses, "clicker, alarm, find eyeglasses", eyeglasses jenny mccarthy, eye glasses locator, eyeglass locator beeper, eyeglass locators, eyeglasses locator for when they get lost, how to find lost eye glasses, how to locate missing glasses, lost glasses tracker

Somehow it makes me feel just a little bit better - perhaps that small dose of validation - that I'm not the only one who needs this.

In the meantime while we are waiting for the eyeglass finder to arrive, I'm thinking that a social story is in order.

Anyone have one already done to help a child with autism wear and take care of the glasses (and stop randomly losing them!)? Please?? Pretty Please??

Sick of searching.
