title: Fitting children with glasses.
abstract: 1. When fitting children for glasses, the emphasis must always be on ensuring that the glasses not only correct the visual problems but also feel and look good. Otherwise, they will not be worn. 2. There is a great value in creating an atmosphere in an optical shop that makes children want to visit. The process of visiting and selecting glasses should be fun for a child. Children's theme sections or toys are an effective method of making a visit pleasurable for a child. 3. For all the extra features an optical shop may offer, perhaps the most special are the intangibles of patience, respect, and genuine affection.
