The diagnosis for my 10-year-old daughter to wear glasses was a hard blow for her to take. Because my husband and I have both worn glasses from an early age, I had explained on many occasions, that she would probably need to wear them at some point as well. However, you never want to be told that by someone else, and hence be different at that age. It was a hard pill to swallow for her.
Thankfully, Dr. Carol and her team of wonderful assistants, made our daughter feel comfortable in the testing process, educated about selecting the right fit, and just giddy about the selection of colour!!! My husband and I were also grateful about the reasonable price points and the kid friendly warranty (which of course had to kick in 6 months after the fact, when they were stepped on!).
