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.

Other parents who have a child with glasses can be a good source of information too, as they can likely recommend a place they have had a good experience with. Hearing from a satisfied customer that a certain store is superior in its service, choice of frames, and such can build one's confidence in the shop's ability to meet his or her expectations.

Once a list of potential shops has been devised, call them up and find out more before actually going there in person, especially if bringing the child along. There are several questions the parent should ask when calling each store in order to find out more precisely certain details about what they sell, their expertise, and service policies.

Since fewer children wear glasses than older individuals, there is a notably smaller selection of child-sized frames in general, yet some stores tend to carry a wider variety than others so the key is to find the ones that do. The parent needs to inquire about frames suited to the child's age, and whether the shop also provides lenses, fitting, and adjustments for frames not purchased in the store.

It's an advantage if the opticians in the shop have lots of experience in working with kids, since it typically requires a whole other set of skills and a lot more patience to fit these lively little customers. Even if just one person fits this description, that is fine, but the parent needs to find out when he or she is working so they can schedule their child's fitting accordingly.

Kids are more likely than adults to end up breaking or scratching their glasses, so it's advisable to ask about any warranties the store may offer on its glasses. It's wise to find out exactly what is covered under warranty and what will attract an extra charge. Long coverage periods generally don't make sense for young children who will inevitably require new frames or even a new prescription in a year's time or less.

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.
