Finding The Best Children's Optical Store Bensonhurst Brooklyn Has To Offer

By Marci Glover


When it comes to buying glasses for one's child it's important to find a shop that not only has a great selection of little frames and lenses, but also a wonderful, caring staff who are dedicated to ensuring a perfect fit and positive experience for the child. By choosing the best kid-friendly optical store Bensonhurst Brooklyn customers can expect to get the best assistance and advice possible as far as purchasing and maintaining their children's eye-wear is concerned.

The child's optometrist should be happy to refer parents to optical shops that are geared towards providing children's eye-wear. If the child has an eye exam at an optician's, they usually sell frames and lenses too, but it isn't mandatory that the parent purchase them there.

If the parent knows someone who also has a child that wears glasses, he or she can ask this person if they can recommend a store they are happy with. It is reassuring to know that a particular store has provided quality care and products and to hear this first-hand from another person indicates a good chance of having a similar experience if one goes there.

After establishing a list of shops one is considering, it's a good idea to call them to find out more details, before deciding to stop by in person. Parents will want to ask them questions regarding their choice of products, level of expertise, and customer service policies.

Children are a minority group of eye-wear consumers, so the selection of frames in their size is usually smaller, however some stores stock a larger selection of kid's frames than others, so it's best to ask. The parent needs to let them know how old the child is, and he or she should also find out if they will provide lenses, fitting, and adjustments for frames purchased elsewhere if necessary.

Some stores employ at least one optician who is very knowledgeable about working with kids, and has the patience needed for fitting these more energetic and often restless little customers. The parent needs to find out what this optician's schedule is like, in order to know which day and time to bring the child into the store.

Broken and scratched glasses happen more often with children's eye-wear since they are naturally more reckless, so it makes sense to also inquire about warranties the shop may provide. Asking about what is and is not covered under warranty is important to know, although it may not be sensible to take a warranty on children's glasses for more than a year because they are bound to outgrow their frames or require a new prescription before then.

Health insurance programs don't usually cover the cost of eye-wear, but some types of supplementary plans may provide some coverage, so it pays to find out if the stores will accept any policy one may have, and if they do, does it only cover certain types of frames. A discount may be available at some shops if the customer opts to purchase two pairs of glasses at the same time, and this can be a good deal since kids are bound to end up needing their glasses fixed at some point and will therefore require a spare set.
