Getting Your First Pair Of Kids Glasses

 

After your child has complained about vision problems at school, you probably booked an appointment at the eye doctor's office for a checkup. After a wait that might have felt like decades, the doctor probably came out of the tiny office to announce his findings – your child needs glasses. Children often don't enjoy the idea of shopping for kids glasses, so it's best to have an excellent idea and a great plan to make your (probably) unexpected quest for great Children’s as painless as it can possibly get.

Younger Kids Glasses – Available Styles and Buying Them

When young child is already experiencing issues with his vision, shopping for kid’s glasses is generally not something you were thinking about doing anytime soon. Glasses for extremely young children are rare. Your available style options for Children’s are very limited. Kid’s glasses for this age group are quite inexpensive, so parents shouldn't worry for their wallets' sake.

Most kids enjoy having glasses that have frames in their favorite color, or that may feature their favorite cartoon character. If your daughter or son gets attached to a certain pair, buy them. Otherwise, simply buy a pair that you think is a good fit for them.

Younger Kids Glasses – What You Need To Remember

Kids’ glasses for this age group ideally should be more focused on function instead of form. It's a much  better move to get a pair of shatterproof Children’s than to pay an equal sum for more stylized glasses that don't have that added safety. Young children are not particularly known for being careful with glasses, so it's best to invest in durability over looks. After all, they will outgrow this pair soon enough.

Older Kids Glasses – Styles Available and Buying Them

Once your child is around 8 or 9 years old, it's okay to grant them the permission to choose their pair of glasses while you are shopping for kid’s glasses. A very large majority of children have begun to get an idea of what they would like to wear, and what they won't. Style is a crucial element for kids at this particular step in life. For older kids, the styles of glasses that are available often are very similar in both range and design to those that are available for adults.

This age group's main style characteristic is that they won't wear things they don't like, including glasses. Instead of putting your foot down about the style of the glasses she decided she will be wearing, encourage them choose a pair they will enjoy wearing for them. They may want to copy celebrity styles, find something cute and zany, or simply wear what everyone else at school is wearing. They are still developing their own personal style, and it should be encouraged. They will love you for it, and they will also be motivated to wear their glasses as often as possible.

Older Kids – What You Need To Remember

You will need to remember that not all children are excited about wearing glasses. Sadly, glasses are still stigmatized by many school children. If you notice that your child is very reluctant (or even terrified) to get their first pair of kids glasses, you may need to have a talk with them. Explaining to them that glasses will help them see, as well as assuring them that they won't be bullied, is a very important task for parents with apprehensive children. Without that supportive talk, you won't be able to go shopping for kid’s glasses without a lot of headaches in store for both of you.

The bottom line is that you will need to get your children involved at some point of the buying process. Making it fun, non-judgmental, and also an opportunity for them to grow a little bit is the best way to shop for kids glasses. After all, the first pair kid’s glasses you'll get are an exceptionally important step towards a visually-healthy adulthood for many children.
