Noah Fisher, 4, was devastated when he was told he had to wear glasses. So his mom created a group on Facebook to show him how cool eyewear could be.
A little boy upset about having to wear glasses now feels he's the coolest kid in town after thousands of fellow speccies told him it wasn't so bad.
Noah Fisher, 4, was left devastated when opticians told him his vision was impaired and he'd probably have to don black-rimmed frames for the rest of his life.
"I said, 'Put your glasses on,' and he just broke down into tears," his mom Lindsey told USA Today.
"It was the saddest thing. It just broke my heart. And I finally got him to tell me why he was crying and he said because everyone was going to laugh at him," she added.
To support her son, she set up a Facebook page called Glasses for Noah.

Friends, family, even complete strangers posted their support for Noah by uploading photos of themselves wearing frames.
Asking bespectacled pals to post snaps of themselves, she hoped it would lead to Noah becoming more confident with his new eyewear.
"Our sweet 4-year old, Noah, just got glasses and is having a hard time adjusting. Let's show him just how cool glasses really are!" she wrote.
At first, just family and friends posted their pictures with messages of support.
But news of the page soon spread, it before long it was being inundated with images from glass-wearers from across the country.
"It was very humbling to see how the community took time out of their day to post a picture of themselves for a little boy that half of them don't even know," Fisher added to USA Today.
