Even if your child seems enthusiastic about getting glasses, it may take them a while to adjust to their new accessory. It's important to detect and treat any vision problems as early as possible, though, and doing so will be much easier when your child has a positive outlook on the situation. The staff at Wing Eyecare of Miamisburg, OH, have been providing excellent vision services for the whole family, so they have plenty of experience making sure the transition goes smoothly for kids of all ages. 

Here are a few tips to help with the adjustment period: 

• Remain Positive: The way you frame the situation will shape the way your child perceives it, so go in positive and maintain an upbeat attitude throughout the process. Your child will also appreciate having a choice in the matter. Letting them peruse the available options before you settle on a pair of glasses will make it seem more like an important and fun decision they're making on their own. 
• Make Them Comfortable: A good fit will go a long way toward helping your child adjust to their new glasses. Work with an optician to make sure they don't cause any pressure or slide off or pinch the nose area. The more comfortable your child's glasses are, the more likely they’ll be to happily keep them on all day long. 
• Consult With Your Eye Doctor: If your attempts at making glasses seem cool and comfortable don’t get through, it might be time to enlist some professional help. No one has more experience with this than your optometrist’s office, so give them a call and heed their advice. It may also help if they relay the information to your child directly, putting a fun spin on the process while backing it up with certifiable knowledge. 

Remember, you and your child aren't alone during this adjustment period. Friends and family members can get in on the encouragement, too, and before you know it, your child will think of their eyeglasses as an extension of themselves.
