Choosing Kids Glasses Essentials (4)
                     Choosing Kids Glasses 
Essentials
Finding children's glasses that fit properly and make them feel fashionable can be a difficult 
decision. With spectacles that really let them show off their personalities and be fashion-
ahead, new kids' eyewear brands are developing. 
For parents, it is important to consider the fit, safety, and durability of the glasses. Frames 
should fit snugly against the face and stay in place as children move around. Safety is also a 
priority, and it is important to check that the frames meet the standards for impact resistance.  
Durability is also a key factor. Kids are constantly growing and frames should be able to 
withstand the wear and tear of everyday life. Look for frames that are made of high-quality 
materials, such as stainless steel and titanium, and have flexibility. This ensures that the 
glasses can expand and contract as the child's face grows.  
In addition to fit, safety, and durability, style is also important. Many eyewear brands offer a 
wide variety of styles, colours, and shapes to choose from, so children can find frames that 
suit their individual styles.  
It is important to choose frames that are comfortable. Kids should be able to wear the frames 
comfortably for extended periods of time without feeling discomfort. Look for frames that are 
lightweight and feature adjustable nose pads and temple tips. This will ensure that the frames 
fit comfortably and securely. Follow these Top Kids Glasses Essentials to find the best 
frames for children's glasses.
Size
Finding your toddler's glasses size is similar to finding their hat size; if they often wear a smaller size, 
their glasses size will be similar as well. This also holds true for medium and bigger sizes. Kids' 
glasses typically have a 125 mm temple length and a 44 to 48 mm lens width (with about a 130 
maximum). Typically, a youngster between the ages of 4 and 10 can wear children's spectacles.
To size your child's glasses, measure the width of their face, or the distance between their temples. To 
do this, hold a ruler horizontally against their face, and measure the distance between the ruler and 
the outside of their temples. This is the widest point of their face.  If the width of your child's face is 
between 44 and 48 mm, they will fit into most kids' frames. If the measurement is larger than 48 mm, 
then your child will need to look for frames in the adult section.  
You can also measure the length of your child's temples. To do this, hold a ruler vertically against the 
side of their face, and measure the distance from the end of their nose to the end of their temple. This 
measurement should be between 125 and 130 mm.  When shopping for glasses for your toddler, make 
sure to look for frames that are lightweight and comfortable, and that fit properly. 
Be sure to bring your child with you when you shop for glasses, so you can ensure that the frames fit 
them correctly.  Your child may also need to get an eye exam to determine what type and strength of 
lenses they will need. This can usually be done at the same time you are shopping for glasses. 
Material
You can have a sturdy, hypoallergenic material that doesn't sacrifice style with an acetate 
frame. Given its capacity to adjust to a developing face and increased durability, spring 
hinges will offer a better fit and contribute to extending the lifespan of frame wear.    
For a polished and timeless look, opt for a classic square frame. This shape will flatter 
square, round, and oval faces, and can be customised with a variety of colours and styles to 
fit your individual look.    
If you're looking for a stylish, yet modern frame, try a rectangular shape. It's perfect for those 
with more angular features and has the added benefit of being able to accommodate higher 
prescriptions. Additionally, there are a number of materials available to make the frame look 
and feel luxurious.    
If you prefer a bolder, more unique look, consider a rimless frame. It's perfect for those who 
want a lightweight, minimalistic style that won't detract from their natural features. Most 
rimless frames also have adjustable nose pads and spring hinges, so they can be tailored to 
your face size and shape.    
No matter which style you choose, don't forget to consider the lenses. They are the most 
important component of any pair of glasses and can make a huge difference in both your look 
and your vision. Make sure to check with your optician for the best toddler glasses for your 
needs.
Style
smaller, developing features. You can use the Face Shape Guide for Glasses to choose which 
design suits your child's face the best. Above all, letting youngsters experiment with styles 
and colours will give them the self-assurance they need to wear their spectacles.
When purchasing toddler glasses, make sure they have a comfortable fit and are light enough 
to avoid stressing the bridge of the nose. You should also look for adjustable frames that can 
grow with your child's face.   
You can also look for lenses with anti-reflective coating and UV protection for maximum eye 
protection. Additionally, anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings will help keep the lenses clear and 
scratch-free.   
Finally, consider the material that the frames are made from. Plastic frames are usually lighter 
and more adjustable, while metal frames are more durable and stylish.  
No matter which glasses you choose for your toddler, they should always be fitted by an 
optician to ensure a perfect fit and comfortable vision.
Lenses
The safest and most reliable alternative for active kids is polycarbonate material, which has an 
impact resistance of up to 12 times greater than regular plastic lenses. Youngsters' glasses are 
also offered in polycarbonate and are a great choice for active kids because they are clear 
indoors and transform into the best UV-protective sunglasses when outdoors.  
Whether or not your children require corrective eyewear, polycarbonate sunglasses lenses will 
still provide them with the highest level of UV protection. Given that one in four children spends 
more than three hours per day using digital devices, it is becoming more and more important to 
protect children's eyes against high-energy visual (HEV) artificial blue light. 
The harmful blue light emitted from digital gadgets is reflected by and filtered by these lenses, 
acting as factors in eye strain, headaches, dry eyes, and blurred vision.  
Polycarbonate lenses also provide improved accuracy and clarity of vision. They are made of 
lightweight material which allows for a comfortable fit and can be customised with scratch 
resistant coating and anti-reflective coating to reduce glare and reflection. Polycarbonate lenses 
are also very durable and highly impact-resistant, making them the ideal choice for active kids.
Coating
Making sure that your child's glasses have lens coatings will increase the comfort of wearing 
the glasses and prolong the life of the lenses. By limiting light reflections off the lens, anti-
reflective coatings lessen eye fatigue, whilst anti-scratch coatings increase a lens's 
resistance to impact and scratches. 100% UV protection from the sun is achieved by adding 
UV protection.  
Other lens coatings available include hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings which help to 
repel water and oils, making them easier to clean and keep smudge-free. Mirror coatings can 
be applied to lenses to reduce the amount of light entering the eyes and create a fashionable 
look. Polarisation is a coating that reduces glare from surfaces such as roads, snow and 
water.  It is important to speak to your optician about the lens coatings that would best suit 
your child's prescription, lifestyle and age.
