If the frame is too wide or too narrow, the lens centre won’t match your child’s PD (pupillary distance). This misalignment can cause:

● Blurry or distorted vision

● Eye strain or headaches

● Reduced effectiveness of myopia-control lenses

Children should feel comfortable wearing their glasses all day. A poor fit can lead to:

● Glasses slipping down the nose, pushing children to look over the lenses

● Pressure marks on the skin

● Kids removing their glasses more often, which reduces the benefit of treatment lenses

● Make sure your child wears their glasses consistently as prescribed.

● Check the fit regularly – frames should sit comfortably without slipping.

● Clean lenses daily with a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.

● Encourage the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes of near work, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

● Limit continuous screen time and balance with outdoor play.

● Aim for at least 2 hours of outdoor play each day – natural light helps support healthy eye development and slows myopia progression.

● Ensure children get enough sleep; fatigue can strain their eyes.

● Avoid screen use at least 30 minutes before bedtime.

● Schedule regular visits with your optician or eye doctor.

● Update frames and lenses as your child’s vision changes.
