Buying New Glasses for Children

Equipped with a receipt with information about a new pair of glasses for Alma, we set off into Copenhagen to find a new pair, precisely as we had done a year before. We took a leisurely walk through Ørested Park, which led almost directly to the Glasses Shop on Teglgårdsgade in the centre of Copenhagen.

Visiting the optician

We visited the stop shortly after it opened on a Saturday. An employee met us as we entered. The employee gets extra points for welcoming Alma down at child level! This was a great start to the visit. Part of the shop is targeted specially at children, so there is a small table and chair set where children can draw and read books whilst waiting. We quickly managed to work out the style and colour she wanted. The employee was highly competent and knew exactly how to find the right size and fit and with bifocal lenses. Within 15 minutes, we had made our decision.

We are not going to replace the sunglasses this time. We are going to reuse the frame that we bought a year ago and just change the lenses. When we left through the door,

Alma chose a small teddy bear from a basket in her typical ‘visit to the doctor’ style. She was proud to show off to her brothers when we got home. I will certainly not hesitate to return to the shop again in the future when we need new glasses for Alma. According to their website, they have over 350 pairs of children’s glasses. And in our case, delivery takes 10 days.

Andreas, my husband, was rather surprised about how quick we had been at finding glasses for Alma and making the order – he had probably been preparing himself for the worst, based on previous experiences. This meant we had extra time to take a trip past the playground in the northern part of Ørsted Park on the way home, which suited us perfectly.

Our Luck Finally Ran Out

Knækkede briller

Så skete det… Brillen måtte lade livet grundet ’massiv modstand’ i sofaen, da et familiemedlem satte sig på dem. Af alle tidspunkter, kunne det have været langt værre. De nye briller er i produktion og klar om 10 dage. I skabet lå heldigvis Almas gamle og godt medtagne briller, som hun stoppede med at bruge, da hun var 2 år. Men i situationen var det et glædeligt gensyn at finde dem frem!

Når så hun kommer hjem fra børnehave og tydeligvis har haft en fantastisk dag at dømme på snavset fra top til tå, så var det nu alligevel rart at se et par gamle briller på næsen.

Choosing Glasses… They Are More Than Just Glasses.

Today we took a trip with Alma to Copenhagen to find a pair of new glasses for her. The hunt was on for both a pair of regular glasses and a pair of sunglasses.

We had chosen the Optician on Værnedamsvejs as it had been recommended. It’s a charming little place, with a really wide selection of glasses for children – according to their own guess, about 700 pairs. So, it was time to get lost in the hunt for a pair of glasses that suited both Alma’s face and personality.

We decided to buy a pair of pink glasses, which were at the higher end of the range, as shown above. I cannot wait for them to be ready for her, not least because they will be scratch-free … at least for a while, anyway.

We also purchased a pair of bifocal sunglasses, since she is very shy of light in her one eye. Now we are ready to enjoy summertime!
