Does your teen or ‘tween wear glasses? These days, it is more stylish to wear eyeglasses. With all types of frames (many of them designer) available, glasses can be considered a great fashion accessory!

A poll of kids ages seven to 16, conducted in the UK by the College of Optometrists, reports that Harry Potter and Johnny Depp are making it cool to wear glasses! Telegraph.co.uk reports on the study, in which Harry Potter(the fictional character portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe in the movies) and actor Johnny Depp were the top role models for kids-with Depp being particularly influential to teens.

Others named as influential in the poll included Elton John, the Queen, Bill Gates, Tony Blair, and Anne Robinson(of “Weakest Link” fame).

If you have a teen or any other age child who needs glasses or contacts, a great site to visit is All About Vision. They have a wealth of information regarding vision problems, eye diseases, glasses, contacts, laser surgery, and many other subjects involving the eyes and vision. They have separate sections dealing with children and teens.

Let your kids know that wearing glasses is no longer just for geeks!
