Glasses For Children

By Jasmine Wallace


When you first enter the optician with your child for the first it resembles a sweet shop to them and possibly you with everything on display. Where do you start? What do you choose? Most parents may feel uncomfortable especially if they themselves do not wear spectacles.

The first point your optician will make is what type of prescription you child will need and why. They will go over the various options available to you and explain anything your are unsure of such as the differences in vision. Some ideas below may help put your mind at ease.

Recommended lens which are strong are the best type to buy as they almost certainly will last longer in the hands of children. Due to the nature of children and their robust life style as in climbing trees or playing sports they often forget that the frames can break easily. Your optician will keep you right in your selection and don't forget to ask for lens which are scratch prove if possible.

The frames are often seen as the fragile part of the spectacles because they are often held together with only tiny little screws which are flimsy. Children often break this part of the frame first or end up bending the frames out of shape. No matter the reason there is always a downside to children's frames.

Any parent will tell you to buy at least two pairs of glasses each time you visit the opticians. The reason behind this thinking is that if one pair breaks there is always a spare pair in the house or in the school locker.This is a perfect answer to any emergency until your reach the opticians.Even better ask your optician if they can design a pair which will cope with all the sports you child will be attending.

Opticians can offer you insurance for your children's glasses in the event of breakage. Insurance is a fabulous way of keeping costs down low when the time comes to visit for a replacement pair. Ask the eye wear doctor what is included in your warranty and what you need to pay extra for such as lens.
