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.
One way around this problem is to purchase an extra set of glasses at the same time of the original pair. This is sound advice were children are concerned because of all the sports they have on after or during school. You can even ask if they have a special toughen pair to cope with all the sports and climbing your child may do each week.
Buy insurance for your child's glasses. This may appear a little extreme and you may say no thank you. Ask yourself how much you will need to pay for glasses throughout the year if your child keeps on breaking them. Always ask what is included in the cost of the warranty.
