    Things have changed big time in regards to kids and glasses and how they are treated by their peers.

    My two older children have to wear glasses for school, reading and tv. They LOVE them and their friends want to wear them as well!!

    I don't have any trouble with teasing or getting them to wear them when they need but they started wearing when they were 5.

    You'll probably find she will want to wear them because it'll be much easier for her to see.

    My grandson wears them and you will need to keep reminding her to wear them. He keeps losing them so it's good to have one place they must be placed when not wearing them.

    Also be prepared for many visits to have them reshaped, mended etc. Make sure it is part of the service when you get them. Most have a warranty which includes new frames should they get broken. They are on their second frame and have had many trips to have them fixed.
