My child refuses to wear his glasses

What to do if your child doesn't want to wear their glasses?

A child receiving glasses for the first time may not want to wear them for a variety of reasons. It is appropriate to look for them and discuss them with him to understand what may be bothersome or unpleasant.

Children make fun of him at school

Many children wear glasses to school. Today, the choice of frames for children is varied and trendy. Start by letting him choose his favorite frame with the advice of your optician specializing in children. He will be able to see his glasses as an accessory and avoid teasing from his little friends. Communicate with your child to let them know that their glasses are useful to them and that they should not feel uncomfortable wearing them. You can also find stories with heroes wearing glasses: he's not the only one who wears them!

The glasses bother him and are uncomfortable

If your child's frame is not perfectly adjusted, it will be very uncomfortable: it slips on the nose, it hurts behind the ears, etc. To do this, consult an expert optician trained in adjusting children's glasses, and Do not hesitate to go directly to the store if you have any doubts on this subject.

Your child forgets to wear his glasses

Sometimes your child only needs to wear their glasses at school to see the board clearly, but not on the playground. It happens that he forgets to wear them or prefers to do without. Explain to him the benefit of wearing his glasses: he will be in better shape because he is less tired, his eyes will not hurt at the end of the day, and he will see the world around him much better! Also compliment him so that he feels confident with his glasses.

Remember that wearing glasses is by no means inevitable and that it is important to put things into perspective. Patience is the key word, if your child does not like wearing his glasses, good communication will make him understand and change his mind. You can also talk to your optician who will give you advice on how to help your child wear their glasses.
