Think Twice before Buying Children’s Eyewear Online

Buying eyewear online could be risky business, especially where your children are concerned. How will you know the prescription is filled correctly? Are the customized measurements to fit the child’s facial structure done correctly for accurate visual acuity and comfort?

It is important that you consult a local professional, licensed optician, to ensure proper placement and positioning of child’s eyewear. He or she will be able to make any adjustments to the glasses for ultimate comfort and identify any problems that may exist with the prescription. Most opticians will have a rapport with your eye doctor and would be able to discuss any issues or concerns with them regarding the child’s vision.
