Flexible Eyewear Solutions Designed with Special Needs Children in Mind

San Diego, CA – Roshambo Eyewear, a family-owned and operated company based in San Diego, California, is proud to offer a line of flexible, Italian-made eyewear that meets the unique needs of children with sensory sensitivities, developmental challenges, or physical disabilities. With comfort, safety, and adaptability at the forefront of design, Roshambo’s frames provide a much-needed solution for families seeking reliable and inclusive eyewear.

Children with special needs often face challenges with traditional eyewear, such as discomfort from rigid materials, breakability, irritation from pressure points, or difficulty keeping frames in place during daily activities. Let's be honest, a LOT of kids face these issues with glasses, but Roshambo Eyewear’s flexible frames are engineered to address these issues for everyone:

  • Ultra-Flexible, Hypoallergenic Materials: Mades in Italy from BPA, latex, and phthalate-free materials, Roshambo frames are soft and bendable, reducing breakage risk and enhancing comfort for children with tactile sensitivities.

  • Lightweight & Pressure-Free Design: The featherlight construction minimizes pressure on ears and noses, making them ideal for extended wear and children who may resist wearing traditional frames. So light they can float!

  • Secure, Comfortable Fit: Optional adjustable head straps and ear adjusters ensure a snug, non-slip fit—essential for active kids or those with mobility-related concerns.

  • Customizable Options: Shapes for every face size, and even a new line of baby frames called Bendees with a modular designs allowing for seamless conversion from temple arms to head straps without tools, offering maximum flexibility for different wear preferences and motor skill levels.

“We hear directly from parents and specialists alike all the time who tell us our frames are a game-changer for children with special needs,” said Scott Morris, Co-Founder of Roshambo Eyewear. “Our mission has always been to create safe, fun, and functional eyewear for every child—and that means considering the diverse needs of all families. We have a wall near our break area that is overflowing with thank you notes from special needs families thanking us for glasses that actually work for their child. It is always the best part of our day to get those notes, and we get them a lot!” 

Co-Founders Scott and Julia Morris are also parents of a child on the autism spectrum and a glasses wearer, so they know firsthand how important virtually unbreakable eyewear is for all kids, but particularly those with sensory or emotional sensitivities. Since the company's founding, giving back to kids in need has been a fundamental part of the business, including partnerships with autism support groups, Down syndrome, albinism, and providing free glasses to kids that can not otherwise afford them.  

Roshambo Eyewear also offers an in-house optical lab for custom direct to consumer prescription lenses, ensuring a one-stop, streamlined experience for parents. Frames are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors and sizes to match every child’s style and developmental stage.
