Infant glasses - where to find them

DD is getting glasses to hopefully help the little bit of residual eye crossing she still has post-strabismus surgery. She's 2 but has a 16 inch head circumference so we're going to have to go with infant glasses. Which is proving harder to find than I had anticipated.

Other than online (because they're asking for measurements I don't have) where do you suggest finding infant glasses?

 

Thanks
