What parents should know about their children's glasses...
When your child needs glasses, encouraging them to wear them consistently can sometimes be a challenge.
For babies, try putting glasses on during playtime and using a favourite toy as a distraction to create a positive association!
If they slip or fall off, we have specialist baby frames that are lightweight, comfortable, and can include head straps or ear grips for extra security, pop in and ask for Tomato Glasses!
For children, letting them help choose their glasses can boost confidence and encourage regular wear, while ensuring the fit is comfortable and correct. Explain the benefits too, glasses help their eyes develop properly and improve everyday vision!
Encourage glasses to be worn every day, especially in the first few weeks, starting with fun activities and plenty of positive reinforcement. If your child is still struggling, your optometrist can check the prescription or discuss other options, such as contact lenses.
Glasses will always remain important, even if contact lenses are used.
At The Cumbrian Optical Company in Brampton, we offer thorough eye examinations and personalised care for children of all ages.
