Try before you go along to your visit to sit down and go over a few ground rules as to what may happen on their arrival.
Friends of your child who wear glasses can be a great help in relieving any doubts or stress when it comes to visiting the eye doctor. Ask your child's friend if they had fears or questions on their first visit as chances are they will be the same as your child's . You may not have thought about how important this is to your child. Check out all the opticians in your area and find one who is recommended and is friendly towards to children.
A few days before your visit sit down with your child and try and explain what may happen on your first visit to the opticians. Explain what may be required if they are given glasses to wear either on a temporary or permanent basis. A spare pair of glasses does not go a miss as one pair may be broken by accident leaving your child in a fix if they can't see without them.
Ask one of your child's friend around to your house for tea one night . Quiz them on what questions to ask on behalf of your child. This is a great idea as sometimes you may not think about things the same way your child might. The small fears grows arms and legs before you know it and everything is blown out of proportion. Encourage your child to ask lots of questions on their visit.
Always check things over with your optician before trying out new methods of corrective eye wear or methods. What works for one person may not work for another. You are always best to seek professional help for any new ideas.
