Choose The Best Optical Store Bensonhurst Brooklyn Has To Offer For Buying Children's Glasses

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.

After making a list of two or more shops one may consider dealing with, it's wise to phone them and get additional details before making a trip in person, in particular if bringing the child along. Parents need to inquire about the store's selection of frames, purchasing policies, and expertise of their personnel.

Generally there is a wider selection of frames for adults than kids, since more older people wear glasses, but some stores don't fail to overlook this corner of the market and still provide a nice variety of children's styles. The parent needs to find out what the choices are for a child of that age, and if the shop offer fittings, adjustments, and lenses if the customer has purchased the frames somewhere else.

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.

In most cases the purchase of glasses is not covered by health insurance, although some supplementary plans may offer at least some coverage, so it's important to ask the optical store if they accept such a policy if applicable, and if so, are there any limitations on choice of frames etc. Some shops will also provide their customers with a discount if they purchase an extra pair of glasses, which can be very handy in the event that one pair needs to get repaired.
