Roshambo Prescription Glasses<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We know first hand how expensive glasses can be with kids, breakable frames just won\u2019t do! That\u2019s why we\u2019ve lowered our\u00a0starting price to $69 (that’s only $55 with your GiGi’s Playhouse discount!) to make our prescription glasses affordable for all families. Every pair of prescription glasses come with a\u00a0carrying case<\/a>,\u00a0head strap & ear adjusters<\/a>,\u00a0polishing sleeve<\/a>, and free shipping! Not to mention that we also offer a\u00a0full damage replacement guarantee<\/a>\u00a0if your frames break or get damaged in the first year of their use.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roshambo prescription glasses are perfect for active kids on-the-go or as an affordable backup pair. We know that kids are going to be rough with their glasses, and they’re going to try and stretch them or toss them around. These frames can take it!<\/p>\n

Because the frames are so bendable and\u00a0flexible, you can easily\u00a0swap out the prescription lenses<\/a>\u00a0and put them into another frame color. Your\u00a0child\u00a0is going to love having the option to match their outfits (we have 20 colors to choose from)!<\/p>\n

“We love our Roshambo glasses and have been using them for years!” said\u00a0Jade Woodard,\u00a0member\u00a0of GiGi’s Playhouse Canton and customer of Roshambo Shades. “Kasen has 4 pairs of frame\u00a0colors, and my husband and I both have a pair of sunglasses.\u00a0I brag to everyone about them, especially to those in our Down syndrome community. Roshambo glasses are so much better than the other brands we have tried that lose their shape and press up against Kasen’s eyelashes and then he can’t blink!”<\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Free Home Try On Kits<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can try our unbreakable frames on at\u00a0home for FREE<\/a>\u00a0to make sure they are the perfect fit before you buy your prescription glasses!\u00a0You can choose from our kids pack, adult pack or all 5 sizes for an at-home, no obligation\u00a0free trial of our prescription frames<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You also might be able to get insurance reimbursement or use your HSA\/FSA\u00a0account\u00a0to pay for your prescription glasses. Double check with your carrier before purchasing your prescription to get the details!<\/p>\n

About GiGi’s Playhouse<\/strong><\/h3>\n

With over 50+ brick and mortar locations across the United States and Mexico and 200 inquiries to start new locations all over the world, GiGi\u2019s Playhouse is the only network of Down Syndrome Achievement Centers. Every day, we provide FREE, life-changing therapeutic, educational, and career training programs for 80,000+ children and adults with Down syndrome, their families, and their communities.<\/p>\n

Down syndrome is the largest chromosomal disability in our country and yet, it is the least funded. From a prenatal diagnosis to career skills, we make a lifetime commitment to remain by their side. Families are empowered with all the tools their child needs to succeed!<\/p>\n

“GiGi doesn\u2019t get a break from her diagnosis; no one does. People who are different don\u2019t get to shed that \u201cdifferentness\u201d at the end of the day. They struggle constantly for acceptance, and that is why we\u2019ll never stop fighting for them. Together we\u2019re changing the world: one child, one diagnosis, and one community at a time!”\u00a0Nancy Gianni, Chief Belief Officer and GiGi\u2019s Mom.<\/em><\/p>\n

Through free programs and through our\u00a0#GenerationG Campaign<\/a>\u00a0for global acceptance, we\u00a0empower families by maximizing opportunities for daily achievement and lasting acceptance. To ensure lasting acceptance, we must show the world what individuals with Down syndrome are truly capable of achieving as students, co-workers, volunteers, friends, and valued members of their communities. Our program outcomes help advance this vital social impact goal.<\/p>\n

GiGi’s Playhouse is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization and is solely funded by donations.<\/p>\n

“What I like best about GiGi\u2019s Playhouse programs is that I get to meet new people and gain friendships I didn\u2019t realize I needed!” said\u00a0Cyd Devore,\u00a0member\u00a0of Gigi’s Playhouse Canton and customer of Roshambo Eyewear. “Attending GiGi’s programs forces me to take a break from the hectic daily schedule and catch up with other moms who go through the same struggles. We compare notes, we give each other tips\/ suggestions on different methods to try with our kids, etc. We bond, we laugh, we cry and most of all, we encourage and celebrate our kids\u2019 wins!”<\/em><\/p>\n

About Roshambo\u00a0Eyewear<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Roshambo\u00a0Eyewear is family owned and operated by San Diego family Scott, Julia, and their little girls Avery and Chloe. Starting in 2012 as a response to needs within their own family, Roshambo prides themselves on making sunglasses and\u00a0direct-to-consumer prescription eyewear<\/a>\u00a0for children that are safe, durable, and flexible, but at a budget-friendly price. They have now grown to\u00a0five sizes of frames from baby to adult<\/a>\u00a0so the whole family can match.<\/p>\n

Lack of quality in kids eyewear was the biggest motivator in creating their own line. To address this, they make their frames in Italy, assemble them in house in San Diego, use polarized lenses as a standard, and created a proprietary, toxin-free, kid safe material that is virtually unbreakable.<\/p>\n

Their company name is a reference to the children\u2019s game \u201crock, paper, scissors\u201d also called \u201cro\u2022sham\u2022bo,\u201d which is used as a teaching tool for children with autism. With autism present in their own family,\u00a0giving back to their community is an important pillar of their business.<\/p>\n

In addition to donations to GiGi’s Playhouse, Surfers Healing, Alex’s Lemonade Stand and numerous other\u00a0charities and non-profits, Roshambo is also a part of the\u00a0Zappos Adaptive Network<\/a>.\u00a0Zappos Adaptive caters to the needs of people who have challenges getting dressed every day with a range of “adaptive” clothing and shoes. The items featured in the Zappos Adaptive line are\u00a0designed for people with a range of conditions including autism, diabetes and mobility issues.<\/p>\n

“I was looking for a more aesthetically appealing frames that would fit Lana\u2019s small face and my friend, Jade, mentioned Roshambo,” said\u00a0Cyd Devore,\u00a0member\u00a0of Gigi’s Playhouse Canton <\/em>and <\/em>customer of Roshambo Shades. “After looking around optical dispensaries in our area, I discovered very little to none cater to smaller children so I finally decided to check\u00a0Roshambo\u00a0out. I\u2019m so glad I did because they offered baby sized frames\u2026 and in lots of color options!”<\/em><\/p>\n
