. It may require many conversations with your child to make a definitive decision as to the type of eyewear that will serve their needs best. Kids may feel that wearing eyeglasses will impact their image. Studies have indeed shown that wearing glasses does often impact a child's view of themselves, as well as how they are perceived and received socially. If eyeglasses are the best option for your child, remember to talk to them continually about what makes them unique and acceptable as a person. Eyeglasses are only a thing that they wear; not who they are.
