Specs 4 Us Mission:

To improve the sight and quality of life for children with Down Syndrome by providing custom frames that fit their unique needs.

SPECS4US has designed a frame specially formatted to fit children with Down syndrome. With a pair of Erin’s World frames your child will no longer be constrained from their spectacles.  They will be able to explore the world freely and clearly without wearing glasses that are too big or are constantly slipping down their noses. These frames are made with your child’s unique needs in mind and solve the problems that regular spectacles never could.

SPECS4US was created and founded in 2004 by Maira Dellapina in USA
with over 25 years in the optical industry and the mother of a four-year-old with Down Syndrome.  She saw a definite need for this frame line.  After two years of searching for an eyeglass frame to fit her daughter, Erin, Maria decided to use her knowledge as both an optician and mother to help Erin and others like her.

“Erin’s World” is the frame line specially designed to fit children with Down syndrome superior to the typical frame.  Unlike other frames, the bridge is adjusted to fit on their smaller noses and the temples (some people call them arms) are designed to help keep the glasses from constantly slipping.  Erin's World frames are available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit toddlers to adults.

Erins World frames retail at €120 including standard single vision lenses. Health Board dockets are gladly accepted towards the cost. At present - End March 2009 - the healthboard allows approx €54 from the cost of the complete spectacle and will pay extra towards the cost of slimming down the lenses depending on the lens power required.

Erins World frames range is currently available in Nolke Opticians Ardkeen. We will be glad to advise you on the frame suitability to your prescription and adjust the frame to fit accordingly.
