Importance of Children's Eyeglasses Fit

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to talk about the importance of how glasses fit your child. It's probably, if not more crucial, just as crucial as how your child sees. I've seen glasses where the child has spread the nose pads out or flipped their temples out, the glasses all stretched out because they just were never comfortable. The child really needs to want to wear their glasses. They want to be able to have the comfort, not be too tense on the side of the head. At school, at recess, those glasses are going to get bumped around and all those things. So you want to be sure that you have the glasses that fit properly, or else you child is going to be prone to losing them, not wanting to wear them. They're going to fall off, they're going to get lost. So you want to have glasses that are going to be properly fitted to your child, and you can have that done at your child's optician's office, preferably before the sale is even made, before you purchase those glasses, you need to have the optician make sure that they fit."
