Children’s Eyeglasses

Before buying eyeglasses for your child, consider his or her activity level. You should choose a pair of children’s glasses that fit his or hers needs based on the activity level of your child. A lightweight frame is ideal for active kids. If your child is very active and will be wearing the glasses daily, consider purchasing lenses made of polycarbonate or Trivex. Polycarbonate and Trivex are lighter weight and have UVA/UVB protection. Both lenses are compatible with protective treatments.

If you’re shopping for children’s eyeglasses online, it’s helpful to know the type of frames that are available. Traditionally, children’s eyeglasses have temple arms but also interchangeable headbands. Both styles work well for children. The Tempo Unbreakable series eyeglasses were developed by pediatric opticians to improve vision and comfort. They also offer superior lens support and downward geometry over the nose.
