She is sleeping so well and not being fussy at night since we started using the OLP lenses. I have on a few nights not given them to her and I absolutely notice a difference in her not wanting to go to sleep. Even her eating habits have improved! I am still trying to over come patient's not getting them for their kids Thank you so much for suggesting I get OLP lenses in my new glasses. I purchased the indoor lenses and they have made such a difference. My eyes feel so relaxed when I wear them, and I am seeing more clearly. An unexpected benefit for me is that I am also sleeping much better. All of these benefits plus I am protecting my eyes! Thank you so much for prescribing OLP Lenses for my son. He has had severe trouble rubbing his eyes and always looked exhausted. Of recent he has even more advanced sleep trouble then before leading him to sleep walking. It has been highly disruptive to our lives. Since wearing the lenses he is sleeping through the night and shows them off to his friends as his cool glasses.
