Glasses are prescribed to correct a refractive error. Refractive error can mean long or short-sight, with or without astigmatism. Long-sight means that distance vision is clearer than near vision and is caused by the eyeball being slightly too small. Short sight means that near vision is clearer than distance vision and is caused by the eyeball being slightly too large. Astigmatism results from irregular curvature of the front of the eye and distorts vision at all distances.Your Optometrist will tell you when your child should wear his/her glasses. If your child needs to wear his/her glasses in school it is important that the class teacher knows when the glasses should be worn. We will send a copy of your child's report directly to the school (with your consent). You can help by mentioning the glasses to the teacher when you next visit the school.
