Tips for Transitioning Your Child into Eyeglasses

If your son or daughter is suddenly falling behind in classes, itโ€™s easy to judge everything. Is the teacher not giving enough time to my child? Has my child developed ADHD; are they not getting proper sleep? The list goes on and on.

Yep. Eyesight. Luckily, thatโ€™s easily addressed.




If you think your child might need an eye checkup, check with your insurance to see what is covered before heading in.

Please also remember that the stores are restocking, they also couldn't prepare for this, so be kind when/if you do go out to the stores.




I will mark what is recommended of a need during a pandemic. I am not commenting on the severity of the virus. I don't think we should live in fear, but I do think it is smart to prepare ourselves. Your personal needs are different from others. You should be responsible and consider others before clearing shelves. Remember with a little kindness we will all get through this together.
