Does My Child Need to Wear Glasses All Day?

If your child has recently been prescribed glasses, it is very common to wonder: “Do they really need to wear them all day?”

It however depends on your child’s eye condition, the strength of the prescription and their visual habits. Most children will wear glasses regularly as it is essential to protect their vision as they grow.

Why Full-Day Wear Matters

For children diagnosed with myopia (nearsightedness), glasses will help them see clearly at a distance especially in class, during outdoor play or while watching their favourite shows.

Wearing glasses all day can

• Prevent unnecessary eye strains

• Help the eyes develop properly during key growth years

• Improve focus and learning, especially in school settings

• Slow down myopia progression

When Can Glasses Be Worn Part-Time?

In some cases like mild farsightedness or reading prescriptions, the eye doctor may recommend wearing glasses only for close-up work or screen time.

However, unless specifically advised otherwise by your optometrist, full-day wear is typically the safest approach for developing eyes!

What Happens If My Child Doesn’t Wear Their Glasses Often?

Children may resist wearing glasses due to discomfort, peer pressure or simply forgetting but inconsistent wear can lead to

• Worsening vision

• Poor posture and squinting

• Eye fatigue and headaches

• Missed opportunities in learning and play

  
  

That’s why comfort and confidence in their eyewear are important!
