Avoid buying “room to grow into” glasses. Ill-fitting frames are uncomfortable and often end up not being worn. Rather, be prepared for a yearly upgrade as your child grows. HELPING YOUR CHILD ADJUST TO THEIR NEW GLASSES Unfortunately, there is no gentle introduction to glasses when they're truly needed. Adapting to this foreign object can vary depending on your child’s age and personality. Older children often find glasses stylish and adapt quickly, whereas younger children might be less enthusiastic and so it helps to introduce glasses in a positive way. Tip: if necessary, a head strap can help younger children keep their glasses on. DO KIDS REALLY NEED SUNGLASSES? Absolutely! Sunglasses are incredibly important for children’s delicate eyes. We're usually quick to apply sunscreen and put hats on our little ones outdoors, but we often forget about protecting their eyes from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Much of the sun-related eye damage seen in adults often stems from childhood sun exposure. Please invest in a comfortable pair of sunglasses for your child with proper UV protection (check the label) and encourage them to wear them whenever they're playing outdoors. It’s an essential part of their sun protection! HOW IS STRABISMUS TREATED IN CHILDREN? Sometimes, simply correcting an underlying refractive error with glasses can help the eyes align. Alternatively, an eye patch may be worn over the stronger eye for several hours a day, forcing the weaker, misaligned eye to work harder, helping to strengthen its vision. If other treatments aren't successful, surgery may be performed. This is often done only after other methods have first been tried to correct the problem. If you suspect your child has a squint, don’t delay. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to give their developing vision the best chance. Consult an optometrist or ophthalmologist for a full assessment.
