I know what it's like to need glasses as a kid.

When I was in first grade, I had trouble seeing the board in class. It was super frustrating!

Lucky for me, my parents knew just what to do: They took me to get my first pair of glasses. In no time, I had a new pair of cool specs that really helped me see the board and succeed in class. Big glasses for my big head, but hey, it was the style right?! And now, that style is back!

Now is the perfect time to get your student a new pair of glasses at Mainely Eyes. It lets them start the school year on the right foot and with crystal clear vision in the classroom. Trust me, it helps.

First step – schedule an eye exam with Dr. Goldthwait at Goldthwait Vision Care. He'll be able to help determine the right prescription for your child.

Then, depending on your child's needs, go see the knowledgeable staff at Mainely Eyes at 663 Stillwater Ave. in the Bangor Mall. They'll take the time to fit your little guy or girl with a stylish pair of frames before the first bell rings. Mainely Eyes has a great selection of kids' frames -- lots more than when I was kid.

Plus, right now you can get 30 percent of a complete pair at Mainely Eyes throughout September. Just tell them Paul Wolfe sent you!
