Children's vision

A child's vision requires attention, patience, and proper guidance. Children grow, change habits, read, use screens, play, move constantly, and need glasses that truly help them in their everyday lives.

At ORASIS Metaxarakis Opticians in Agios Nikolaos, we place special emphasis on children's vision and on choosing glasses that are comfortable, durable, and correctly adapted to each child's needs.

Children's glasses with a proper fit

Choosing a children's frame is not a simple matter. Children's glasses must sit correctly on the face, be comfortable, not slip easily, and withstand daily use.

That is why we help both child and parent choose a frame that suits the child's age, face, prescription, and lifestyle. Our goal is for the child to feel comfortable in their glasses and to be able to wear them with ease throughout the day.

Myopia management in children

In recent years, myopia in children appears more and more frequently and is a concern for many parents. Beyond proper vision correction, there are now modern lens options designed for myopia management.

At ORASIS, we offer Stellest, Hoya's MiYOSMART, and Zeiss options for myopia management in children. The choice is always made based on the prescription and the guidance of the ophthalmologist, combined with proper fitting and follow-up from our store.

Why proper guidance matters

Every child is different. Some children need glasses for school, others for the whole day; some have increased needs due to myopia, while others need a more durable and practical frame.

That is why we dedicate time to explain the options to the parent, help the child feel comfortable, and suggest solutions that fit their daily routine. Proper fit, comfort, and consistency in use play a very important role.

Lenses and companies we trust

We collaborate with major lens companies such as Essilor, Hoya, and Zeiss, so that we can propose modern solutions for children's glasses and myopia management.

Depending on the prescription, age, needs, and the ophthalmologist's instructions, we can guide you through the available options and explain the differences between the lenses in simple terms.

Frequently asked questions about children's vision

When should a child wear glasses?

This always depends on the prescription and the ophthalmologist's instructions. In some cases, glasses are needed only for specific activities, while in others for the entire day.

What are myopia management lenses?

These are special lenses designed for children with myopia, with the aim of helping to manage it. Their selection is always made according to the ophthalmologist's instructions.

Are all children's frames suitable?

No. A child's frame must have a proper fit, suitable size, durability, and comfort. It is not enough for it to just look good.

What if the child does not want to wear glasses?

This is quite common at first. That is why it is important to choose a frame that the child feels comfortable wearing, and to explain to them in simple terms why the glasses help them.

We are by the side of the parent and the child

At ORASIS Metaxarakis Opticians, we want the child to feel comfortable and the parent to feel confident in their choice.
