PT Find out how to choose the right glasses for your child before they go back to school. Ergonomics, resistance and visual comfort in the spotlight. Book your appointment in August!
Back to school is approaching and with it comes routine, homework and... vision care. Many children start the new school year with visual difficulties without knowing it, which can jeopardise their school performance. Choosing the right glasses is essential for well-being and success at school. In this article we explain everything you should consider before buying your child's glasses - from ergonomics to resistance - and why August is the ideal time to make an appointment at the Iberian Optical Centre.
1. Why is vision so important for school performance?
Did you know more than 80% of the information received at school is processed by sight? Children with visual impairments may present:
-
- Difficulty copying from the blackboard
- Lack of concentration
- Difficulty copying from the blackboard
- Frequent headaches
- Incorrect posture when reading or writing
A simple optometry exam can make all the difference. That's why we recommend that you book an appointment before school startsand avoid the queues and rush in September.
2. What to consider when choosing children's glasses?
Ergonomics
The frame should fit the child's face perfectly. A good fit prevents the glasses from slipping, becoming crooked or causing discomfort.
- Adjustable nose pads
- Flexible rods
- Light weight for prolonged use
Resistance
Children are always on the move. That's why children's glasses should be durable and safe, with materials such as:
- High-quality acetate
- Flexible plastic (TR90)
- Frames with spring joints (prevents breakage of the rods)
Visual comfort
The lenses should be adapted to the exact prescription, with anti-reflective and scratch-resistant options. You can also consider photosensitive lenses, which darken in the sun, to protect against UV rays during recreation.
3. Let the child participate in the choice
Involve your child in the process of choosing glasses:
- Increases the likelihood of wearing them with pleasure
- Values autonomy
- Helps create a positive relationship with eye care
