# Children's Glasses

Children's glasses need impact resistant polycarbonate lenses, durable frames and accurate fitting. A frame that slips means the child is looking over the top of the correction, which matters most for children being treated for amblyopia.

The main practical problem with children's glasses is not breakage, it is wear. A pair sitting in a school bag corrects nothing, and for a child being treated for amblyopia, that is a treatment failure rather than an inconvenience.

Two things drive whether a child wears them. Comfort, which is a fitting question, and ownership, which means letting the child choose the frame from the options that suit their prescription. A child who picked their own glasses wears them.

Polycarbonate lenses are standard and effectively non negotiable. They are far more impact resistant than other materials, lighter, and include UV protection. Frames need to survive real life, and free adjustments matter because children's glasses get bent regularly.

## What is included

- Impact resistant polycarbonate lenses as standard
- Durable frames designed for children
- Accurate measurement and fitting
- Free cleaning, repairs and adjustments
- WOW Warranty covering replacement


## Questions and answers
**How do I get my child to wear them?**

Let them choose the frame, make sure it genuinely fits comfortably, and be consistent early on. Most resistance is about comfort or appearance, and both are addressable.

**What if they break them?**

That is what the WOW Warranty is for. Breakage is expected with children and the guarantee exists so it is not a financial problem every time.

**How often do they need replacing?**

Prescriptions change and children grow, so annually is common.

**Should I buy a spare pair?**

For younger children and anyone dependent on their glasses for school, it is worth considering.
