    My son's glasses!!

    Hi everybody,

    I am blessed with a 6 year old boy who needs to wear glasses. i have spent a fortune over the last six weeks as he has broken 4 pairs.

    does anybody know a company who insures glasses?

    thanks in advance!!

    Check with your optician. Many offer a breakage insurance when you buy them.

    thanks. i did ask but they dont. they are specialist glasses and therefore i cant get them at the big chains who offer insurance.

    Hi there,

    I'm going to be absolutely NO help here whatsoever because I don't know of any insurer that insures glasses. They could be claimed for under home contents insurance (subject to your policy type and wordings) but I would strongly OPPOSE the idea due to the 4 breakages already occured! Can you imagine your premium each and every time you had to make a claim?


    Kind Regards,

    Vicissitude

    There are glasses on the marker that are "bendy" Don't know the name of them but might be worth looking into?....
    Just food for thought!
