Lafont, a specialist in pediatric eyewear, presents its first model specifically designed for premature infants. Roudoudou has been developed specifically for premature babies, with dimensions and geometry adapted to their needs. The frame is injection-molded and made from a bio-based material derived from castor oil. The optical and morphological challenges of premature infants led us to start from scratch. The frame is intended to be worn permanently from the very first months.
