VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron and Dr. Michelle Skowron GETTING KIDS TO WEAR THEIR EYEGLASSES When a child gets their first pair of prescription glasses, there can be a lot of resistance to wearing them. When it's time to choose frames, make it a special event and allow the child to choose their own, giving them a sense of ownership in the process. Help them narrow their choices and let them make the final call. Once you receive the glasses, start with short periods of use, and work up to longer stretches of time. Offer praise when the child chooses to wear their glasses without a reminder. Make sure the glasses fit properly; otherwise they will be less likely to be worn. The eye care specialist can make frame adjustments if necessary. At SKOWRON EYE CARE, we're proud to offer comprehensive eye care services for the whole family.
