There are many things to keep in mind when trying to pick out the perfect pair of eyeglasses for your child. The eyeglass prescription is the main concern when choosing glasses, but before you start looking for frames, it’s best to consult with a professional, like the ones at our
Redland eyeglass store. If your child’s prescription calls for stronger lenses they will be thicker, so it makes sense to keep the frames as small as possible to reduce the final lens thickness. Children are often teased when wearing new glasses for the first time so it’s important to avoid eyewear that makes them look less than “cool”. Both of our goals are to get your child to like their glasses so they wear them as often as they need to. This will allow them to see as clearly as possible, while taking care of any vision problems that might affect their schoolwork.
Eyeglass Prescriptions Redland
Most children who need eyeglasses are either nearsighted or farsighted, and depending on the level of vision correction they need, the experts at our
Redland eyeglass store will prescribe glasses for full or part-time wear. We may tell your child that they need to wear their glasses all the time, or take their eyeglasses off to do their schoolwork. If you’re a parent and looking for just the right pair of glasses for your child, we know you will see quite an array of eyeglass frames, but how to decide which ones? You not only have to deal with what your child wants to wear, but glasses that are durable as well. Sometimes our eye doctor will make specific recommendations but the ultimate decision lies between you and your child.
Children's frames are now made of either metal or plastic, but previously plastic frames were actually a better choice for children because they were more durable and less likely to be bent or broken, they were lighter in weight, and less expensive. Many manufacturers, however, are now making metal frames that incorporate these features as well and can be found at Quality Optical of Olney. There are also many manufacturers that duplicate adult styles for children's frames. These are a popular choice with kids because it makes them look and feel more grown-up. The bottom line is, if your children need to wear glasses, their sight is the most important thing and at our
Redland eyeglass store, you have many options so everyone can be happy and healthy.
