4 Tips in Selecting Eyeglasses for Kids
It is true that kids’ eyeglasses come in different colors, shapes, sizes and designs, but choosing eyeglasses for kids are still very difficult. It is quite important for you to invest in the best and proper eyeglasses for your kids as it ensures a good eye health of them and good performance in school activities. Here are some tips you may think useful in eyeglass selection for your kids.
1. Lenses
Firstly, before shopping for eyeglasses, you need to know the prescription of your kids. As it directly determines the thickness of the eyeglasses, the stronger the eyeglasses need to be, the thicker the lenses are. Secondly, many kids’ eyeglasses lenses are made of polycarbonate, an impact-resistant material. Unlike regular plastic lenses which may easily shatter on impact, polycarbonate lenses can reduce the chance of eye injuries. Such lenses have another advantage that they are thinner and lighter, giving a better aesthetic feeling and comfort.
2. Coatings
Just like considering about the effect of impact-resistance of the lenses, parents may also want scratch-resistant coatings applied to the lenses. Such coatings can make the lenses much more resistant to scratching, especially suitable for active kids, and can make the eyewear last a little longer than regular eyeglasses.
3. Nose pads
For comfort, silicone is the most usually used material in nose pad. On one hand, it makes eyeglass wearing more comfortable. On the other, it makes a non-slip surface, which helps the eyeglasses stay on the nose. To some extent, it also keeps good eyesight.
4. Bridge
One aspect that children are different from adults is that children have smaller noses so they do not have the bridge that keeps eye glasses from sliding. Thus, metal frames are usually used with adjustable nose pads or plastic frames are also made especially for children bridges.
