Ah bless him, I'm sure he'll be fine, just have to make it as fun as poss. Think they do quite a good selection of children's glasses these days so trying them all on at the opticians might be fun for him and entice him to wear them xx

He will adapt really quickly, my sister had glasses from about 2 or 3 years old.

My neighbours 2 boys both wear glasses, the youngest being 3, the other 6,he is fine and has to wear them all the time.

At times she'll let him have a little break and take them off if he's out playing but he is so used to them now that they don't bother them x

I've always wondered about getting Evan's eyes tested. Just cos both me and Evan's dad wear glasses and so does my dad, dont know if it is genetic?? Do you just take him to the optitions or did they test them at school?

Theres a little boy in Evan's class who wears glasses and he seems perfectly fine with them. Im sure Finley will get on ok with them. Just make it fun for him xxx

You can take him to any optician hon and they will test him but I think they do get tested at school when they reach a certain age too!
I thought about taking Finn cos he started squinting a lot but it's passed a bit now and seems to only be when he is tired! x

Any optition will test him. They use pictures as well as letters and words.

At Georgias school the kids are tested the term after they are 5. They have their hearing done too xx
