Answer We don't hear about kids not wanting to wear glasses as much as we used to. The whole Harry Potter craze has made wearing glasses 'cool' for many kids. In fact, we have found that some kids are failing their vision test on purpose in order to get glasses. If they are faking, it is usually discovered once they get to an optometrist or opthalmologist, but they are often able to fool the vision screening tests that many Pediatricians use in their office. For an older child who really doesn't want to wear glasses, contact lens are a good option. Kids typically have to wait until they are teenagers to get contact lenses though Younger children aren't thought to be responsible enough to put them in, take them out, clean, and disinfect their lenses without their parents help. A recent study, Daily Disposable Contact Lens Wear in Myopic Children, published in the April 2004 issue of Optometry and Vision Science, concluded that kids from age 8 to 11 years 'are able to independently care for daily disposable contact lenses and wear them successfully.' The researchers did suggest that these younger children be prescribed daily disposable contact lenses so that they didn't have to clean and disinfect their lenses each day. You may also have to consider how responsible your child is overall. If she isn't a very responsbile 9 year old and doesn't take good care of her things, then contact lenses may not be right for her. If she is responsible, then you may want to talk to her eye doctor to see if contact lenses may be a good option for her. If contact lenses aren't an option, then you may let her pick new frames that she may be more comfortable wearing. And help her to understand why it is important to wear glasses and the benefits they provide. If nothing else works, and she still doesn't want to wear her glasses, you might consider watching a Harry Potter movie with her....Show more
