Children's glasses in Dublin, Ohio
A first pair of glasses, picked together
Fit, lenses and how well a pair holds up to a child's day: we walk you through each one, then your child chooses the frame. Two optometrists, an optical room set up for small faces, and a parent beside the chair.

What we look at in a child's glasses
Six things decide whether a pair gets worn. Our guide takes them one at a time.
Fit
The bridge rests on the nose, the eyes sit in the middle of the lenses, and the arms end just behind the ear.
Lenses
Impact-resistant lenses made to your child's prescription, with a scratch-resistant coating.
Durability
Flexible hinges and arms that bend and come back, so a drop or a squeeze does not end the pair.
Weight
A light frame and thin lenses stay comfortable through a school day, from the first bell to the last.
Color and shape
Your child chooses from frames in children's sizes. A child who likes the pair wears it.
Adjusting and repairs
Bring the pair in when it slips, bends or loosens. We adjust and tighten it at the front desk.
The child picks the shape. The doctor sets the lenses.
A try-on day puts frames in children's sizes in front of your child while an optical assistant checks the fit. The prescription comes from the exam, so the lenses are always made to it.

What parents ask first
How will I know if my child needs glasses?
Children seldom say they can't see well. Squinting, sitting close to a screen, rubbing the eyes or losing a place while reading are reasons to book an exam. Only an exam can tell.
Can my child choose any frame?
Your child chooses from the frames that fit. If the doctor's prescription needs a particular lens shape or size, the assistant shows the ones that work.
Do you fill prescriptions from other doctors?
Yes. Your prescription is yours, from us or from anyone else, and you can fill it anywhere.
What if the glasses bend or break?
Bring them in. We adjust and tighten what we can, and tell you what a repair or a new pair would involve before anything is done.
How long does an exam take?
About 45 minutes for a first visit, with a parent in the room.
Which part does my plan pay?
A vision plan usually pays the routine exam and part of the glasses. Medical insurance pays when the visit is about an eye problem. Our fees page explains each.
