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.
