Kids and wearing spectacles -_-

Kids and teens alike on a general hate wearing glasses. Many of them make up the excuse of having forgotten to wear their glasses in school or college. Teens too tell everyone that they would rather prefer going around without glasses because with glasses ‘persons on the road fly about and words swings like pendulums’. 

                                                                                                                                                  In the stage of development in kids, the eye undergoes vast changes. The eyeball
 becomes elongated or the distance between the lens and the retina decreases/increases. This causes myopia, hypermetropia etc. It is a must to wear glasses in such conditions. So watching TV and computer many a time is all but a misconception. They are partly responsible for worsening the eyesight, but not wholly responsible.
 
The bad news is all those teens below 20 years opting to wear contact lenses are actually in line for irreparable eye damage.  But, the good news is of you wear glasses gradually the eye lens will align with the retina reducing the spectacle number.  For those who don’t know laser surgery is also available which can correct this in a jiffy. It is a little costly, but with the upcoming years the cost of LASIK ,etc types of laser surgeries will decrease.
Whenever you feel any discomfort in the yes either while playing, singing or writing, it is best recommended to visit an eye specialist aka ophthalmologist.  Ignoring it will make your eye’s worse and you may have to soon wear ‘old man’ glasses.
Think of spectacles as a new dawn to vision. Choose your own choice of glasses. Check that it fits well. It’s good if you find one matching your complexion. Avoid jazz type glasses, as, many a time they make you look too weird. If you’ve got kids, younger siblings do encourage them by telling them that they look good in glasses.
If you accompany them along to the showroom, they won’t think it to be that bad.
And if you’ve been prescribed glasses, envision them as a new dawn to a better beginning. Enjoy a new spectacle with your brand new spectacles!
