    Clearvision has a ton of frames with or without cable temples for infants/kids.

    I do a LOT of kids, .... try marchon and clearvision primarily for the eye size you need. marchon has SOME small flexons... but I don't think smaller than a 39 eye. babies tend to get them off and then step on them, so lots of my patient's parents appreciate that. being REALLY good at adjusting will help them stay on... I have found that when the eyeglasses are really comfy, babies forget they have them on. have the parents come in about every 6-8 weeks for a readjustment... and get them out of comfort cables and riding bows as soon as you can. babies will leave them on only as long as they are comfy, and those don't stay comfy long when a child is growing so fast.... unless you want to do weekly or bi weekly adjustments.

    edit: their customer service is sometimes lacking, for example many frame companies will do special discounts for our employees, so i thought it couldnt hurt to ask
    Me: "i was just wondering if you do any discounts for our employees?"
    Phone girl: "no."

    not no sorry, or no but maybe we will look into it, or some kind of nicety. just no haha ... which is fine, but she was just very unfriendly about it and then she hung out without saying goodbye or thanking me for my order haha ... but the product is very fun, a great price, and worth putting up with the grouchy people.
