Eye Tests Done. Prescribed To Wear Glasses. Should I Get Second Opinion Before Wearing Glasses?

My 5 year old daughter had her first eye test today, we were given the following prescription and told she needed glasses Right +0.75 +0.50 x 90 Left +0.50 +0.25 x 90 My husband is concerned about letting her wear glasses and said he wants a second opinion as he has read a lot of opticians have got to meet a certain quota of glasses sales. I really don t know what to do, would you recommend another eye examination else wear to confirm?

Hello there!
Thank you for asking. i read your query and i want you to know that the measurements you provided i think your daughter will need glassess. But you can always have a second opinion and even a third opinion unless you are satisfied. After all its family and one always wants whats best for them. Do have a second opinion to be satisfied before wearing glassess.
