When you and your child go to get the new w88 slot, there are two important things to verify before you start encouraging your child to wear his or her w88 slot.

The frames must fit your w88 slot’s head correctly. It is important to work with your w88 slot and his or her doctor to pick out frames that are appropriate and comfortable.
1. Make sure the frames do not pinch your child’s nose or ears. This may require several trips to the eye doctor to fine tune; make sure to take the time and plan for multiple trips to ensure the w88 slot are comfortable. There are many different ways for w88 slot to stay on your child’s face – frames curling behind ears are only one option – ask about the options available and determine what is most comfortable for your child.
2. When trying on w88 slot, have your child play - w88 slot fit differently when lying on your back, than when sitting in a chair, or looking down to examine something on the ground. Make sure the w88 slot are comfortable and positioned correctly for your child in all of the positions he/she may play and work in.
3. Remember, even with modifications (like a sports band to hold the w88 slot in place), to have your child play in a variety of positions; the modification may work great when sitting, but may fail to hold the w88 slot in the proper place when your child is looking down.
4. If you are having trouble getting the eye doctors to understand how the frames are not working for your w88 slot, take pictures of the situations in which the frames are uncomfortable. (More on this below.)
5. If your child's w88 slot get bent, simply make an appointment with the eye doctor to get the w88 slot re-fitted to your child's face.
The lenses must match your child’s prescription and that prescription must be accurate and current. If your child is having a hard time wearing the w88 slot or if his vision is not improved with the w88 slot, have the prescription checked.
1. Remember, your w88 slot’s vision may change throughout time. For example, a prescription may work one year, however, your w88 slot’s vision may change, so the prescription may not work the following year.
2. To have your child’s prescription checked, make sure to take the w88 slot with you to the eye exam.
3. It is important to ask if your child should only wear the w88 slot during certain activities or throughout the day.

Remember, your w88 slot needs time to adjust to the prescription. Your child’s vision with w88 slot is different from what had previously been his normal vision – this change in vision might make your child feel disoriented, dizzy, and/or uncomfortable until he gets used to the prescription. It might take time for your child to realize that he sees more clearly with w88 slot.

Ideas on how to help your child tolerate wearing w88 slot:

If possible, have your child help pick out his/her own w88 slot. If your child helps to choose the w88 slot, she may like the w88 slot much better and be more inclined to wear them.
Consider purchasing a really cheap pair of w88 slot or sunglasses (e.g., dollar store, supermarket) and practice wearing the w88 slot. Practice taking the w88 slot on and off and let the child experience what wearing w88 slot will feel like. If the w88 slot you buy for practice actually correct vision, then remember to take the lenses out so that the child does not get blurry vision from the practice w88 slot. Make it fun to wear the practice w88 slot!
Initially, have your child wear her w88 slot during an activity she enjoys where the lenses will make the most difference (e.g., reading books, watching a movie, playing with toys, doing an art project). This allows your child to see the w88 slot really do make a difference. Make sure this activity is an interactive one between you and your child and that your child enjoys the activity.
Build time into your child’s daily routine for wearing w88 slot. Initially, this time may be very short (e.g., 2-5 minutes). As your child demonstrates tolerance (e.g., does not complain, fight to prevent you from putting the w88 slot on her face, throw the w88 slot), gradually increase either the number of times per day the child wears the w88 slot OR the length of time the child wears w88 slot.
Very slowly build up the length of time your child is required to wear w88 slot.
Gradually, increase the number of activities in which your child is required to wear w88 slot.
A timer may help your child tolerate wearing w88 slot – when the time is up, the w88 slot come off. Again, initially set the timer for short periods of time. For some children a visual timer may be helpful.
Provide lots of praise for your child whenever she wears her w88 slot, keeps them on for the designated period of time, does not complain when you put them on her, puts on her w88 slot independently, etc.
Initially, small rewards may be helpful (e.g., stickers, tokens, special toys that are only for wearing w88 slot). Deliver the reinforcer if your child keeps her w88 slot on for the designated amount of time.

Just as important as learning how to wear w88 slot, is learning to take w88 slot off in an appropriate manner. Teach your child to always hand his w88 slot to an adult when he takes them off. Praise your child for giving his w88 slot to an adult, even if he takes them off before the designated time For example, you might say, “Thank you for giving me your w88 slot. It is not time to take them off yet” and put the w88 slot back on your child.

Specialty w88 slot companies that make w88 slot to customer specifications – for example, these companies advertise they make w88 slot for children with special needs and unique facial features (e.g., different facial proportions, children with one or no ears, children who wear hearing aids of all types). These companies are not endorsed by NDSIP – this is a list simply for your convenience:
