Children typically adapt to new glasses faster than adults. However, sometimes, especially with a first-time prescription or a significant change in prescription, your child might experience initial blurry vision, mild headaches, slight distortion, or general discomfort.
This isn't unusual and doesn't necessarily mean the prescription is incorrect. We recommend your child wear the glasses full-time for two weeks, even if they weren't initially prescribed for all-day use. Consistent wear is the best way to adjust.
After two weeks, your child can return to wearing the glasses as originally instructed. However, if discomfort persists after this adjustment period, it’s a good idea to contact our office for further evaluation. Giving your child this time to adapt will help ensure the best possible vision correction and comfort.
