Buy Your Child's Glasses At The Best Optical Store Bensonhurst Brooklyn Offers

By Marci Glover


When it comes to buying glasses for one's child it's important to find a shop that not only has a great selection of little frames and lenses, but also a wonderful, caring staff who are dedicated to ensuring a perfect fit and positive experience for the child. By choosing the best kid-friendly optical store Bensonhurst Brooklyn customers can expect to get the best assistance and advice possible as far as purchasing and maintaining their children's eye-wear is concerned.

Most optometrists will be able to let parents know which shops cater to children's optical needs. If an optician has performed the eye exam, he or she may also sell frames and lenses and will have a suitable pair for the child, but if not, parents can simply take the child's prescription elsewhere.

Recommendations from people one knows who have a child with glasses can also be very helpful. This way the parent receives a first-hand account from someone who has dealt directly with a particular store. It can be reassuring to hear from others that a certain shop is excellent, and that they would highly recommend it.

Once a list of potential shops has been devised, call them up and find out more before actually going there in person, especially if bringing the child along. There are several questions the parent should ask when calling each store in order to find out more precisely certain details about what they sell, their expertise, and service policies.

Since fewer children wear glasses than older individuals, there is a notably smaller selection of child-sized frames in general, yet some stores tend to carry a wider variety than others so the key is to find the ones that do. The parent needs to inquire about frames suited to the child's age, and whether the shop also provides lenses, fitting, and adjustments for frames not purchased in the store.

Some stores employ at least one optician who is very knowledgeable about working with kids, and has the patience needed for fitting these more energetic and often restless little customers. The parent needs to find out what this optician's schedule is like, in order to know which day and time to bring the child into the store.

Kids are more likely than adults to end up breaking or scratching their glasses, so it's advisable to ask about any warranties the store may offer on its glasses. It's wise to find out exactly what is covered under warranty and what will attract an extra charge. Long coverage periods generally don't make sense for young children who will inevitably require new frames or even a new prescription in a year's time or less.

Health insurance usually does not pay for prescription eye-wear, however some people may have a supplementary plan that does give some coverage with a deductible, so it's necessary to find out if the store deals with one's insurer if applicable, and if there are limitations. Buying two pairs of glasses at once will sometimes give customers a discount, and this can be quite helpful in the case of kids, who are bound to need them repaired at some point.
