Eyewear for Children

Here are some other tips on helping your child select glasses that look good and fit well.

  • Younger children may need special cable temples that wrap around the entire ear to prevent glasses from slipping off.
  • If your child chooses metal frames, make sure they are hypoallergenic, to avoid allergic reactions.
  • Choose impact-resistant polycarbonate plastic for lenses to protect against breakage.
  • Ask for lenses that have been chemically treated to shut out ultraviolet rays while also resisting scratches. If your child's
  • eyes are sensitive to strong sunlight, choose lens material that has been treated to reduce glare.
