Eh ye... How much fun it must be when you are a kid, some 6-10 years old, and you hear that you will have to wear an eyeglasses!? Although it is completely normal thing, kid can think how it will make him...well, different from the others, different from the friends,... Maybe not, at the end it depends from kid to a kid.
In my case, and I´ve got those news when I was 7, it did effect me for a while.
The ugly truth is that in early school-age eyeglasses can "mark" you as a "four-eyes, blindy, blury, glassy,...", depending from which country you are, there are many, many nicknames for...us. Nothing serious, if you were not a touchy kid and if you didn´t care much what every-school-must-have-bullies had to say. Luckily, I´ve never had problems with that. Yes, I did break them....a lot, but some more serious problems never had.
The only bigger problem was at the beginning, that first period, first few weeks after I started to wear them. Believe me, it can be a sad time for a kid. Of course, for that period kid should to have all support of his family and maybe to show him/her how wearing a glasses is not such a big deal, how glasses can be cool, this kind of gift can help.
