(HealthDay News) -- Some children may resist wearing eyeglasses,
despite the resulting improvement in vision, school work and even
extracurricular sports.

The Cleveland Clinic offers these suggestions to help your child accept
a new pair of glasses:

Choose frames that fit well, and don't pinch, slip or feel too
heavy.
Ensure that your child's lenses are the right prescription.
Encourage your child to wear the new glasses a little bit at a time,
gradually wearing them for longer periods.
Ultimately, make putting on and taking off glasses a part of your
child's daily morning and bedtime routines.
Encourage your child with praise every time he or she is wearing the
glasses.
