Kids First Pair of Glasses

- Display an encouraging and positive attitudeabout your child’s new look. Don’t just talk about how important glasses are for your child, but play up the fact that they now have a new, fun accessory or magic tool to help them have a better “power” of vision (whatever you think will speak to your child). On the other hand if your child picks up that you are disappointed about the new look, it will rub off and they might not be as willing to persevere.
- Ensure that your child is rested and in a good mood the first time he or she puts the glasses on.
- Let your child wear his or her glasses for short periods while doing an enjoyable activitywhere wearing glasses will make the biggest difference, for example while watching a favorite television show, or reading a favorite book. The aim here is that your child will be having fun and recognizing the benefits of the new glasses at the same time.
- Before you leave the eye doctor’s office, have the optician check that the glasses fit right and have a comfortable style. This means that they don’t slip, pinch or put pressure on your child’s face, are not too loose or too tight. Glasses that don’t fit right won’t feel right and children won’t want to wear them if they aren’t comfortable.
- Don’t turn wearing glasses into a battle or constantly nag your child to wear the frames. Help your child understand that being able to see is a gift.
- Encourage and praise your child when they do wear their new frames, especially until wearing glasses becomes second nature.
- Make glasses part of the daily routine. Make it the first thing your child does in the morning and the last thing to do before going to bed.
