4 Tips for Making Children More Confident in Wearing Glasses

Dream - Children's eye health is an important aspect that is often overlooked by parents and educators. The situation becomes more complicated because children tend to not express vision problems, which can actually affect their academic achievements.

"In school age, children often do not express any eye problems that occur. It can be seen, for example, when a child sits in front, their grades are good, but when they sit at the back, their grades decrease. The sign is when we see a child squinting while studying, well, the teacher should tell the parents."

"Parent's Response to Children's Vision Problems"

Parents often do not realize that vision problems can be the cause of a child's declining academic performance. Sometimes, parents' reactions actually worsen the situation. "Sometimes parents scold their children because their eyes are blurry or sore, like you always watch TV, like you read books lying down. We should ask since when you have been experiencing blurry vision," added Samanta.

               

"Finding Solutions and Commitment"

When vision problems are identified, it is important to immediately conduct an examination and find the appropriate solution. "If there are signs that a child is experiencing blurry vision, rubbing their eyes, squinting, an examination should be performed when there are signs. Examinations for adults and children are certainly different. Examinations at Optik Tunggal Next Generation are tailored to children. The atmosphere also adjusts to children," said Wind Yulianto.

Giving children the freedom to choose their own glasses can increase their sense of ownership and comfort. Singer Cynthia Lamusu also gives freedom for children to choose glasses so that they are more enthusiastic about wearing them. "When Bima wore glasses for 15 months, he was more resigned, but when Tatiana wore glasses at the age of 3, we gave her a choice because when she was chosen, she became lazy to wear them. So I tried to let her choose, and finally, when it was her own choice, she became confident," said Cynthia Lamusu on the same occasion.

Optik Tunggal also helps children with congenital cataracts to get access to the special glasses they need.
