Good Morning one and all,

I have a student who uses a wheelchair, bilateral head switches for auditory scanning, plus another head switch to activate his wheelchair. He also has a residual ATNR. To date, prescription lenses have not worked well because of the head switches. Also, the ATNR ends up forcing the glasses to "smash" into the side of his head. He would truly benefit from wearing glasses and several different frames have been tried - especially those discussed in previous responses to similar questions to this listserve. Do any of you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
