DD has been prescribed these by the optician to try and correct her lazy eye. She is 11 and extremely upset as she has never seen a child wearing them and feels that she will look like a "granny". We do not know how long she will need to wear them for or how successful this approach will be.
If anyone has experience of bifocals with children I would appreciate your views - at the moment we are reassuring her constantly but I feel so sorry for her especially as she is just at the age where her appearance matters hugely to her.
