Kids Glasses: Finding the best quality and style that fits right

Finding the best kids glasses with the right fit can be very challenging for many moms. When your child is prescribed glasses, it may be enticing for you to go to either the first or the cheapest optical shop you can find because it’s convenient and cost effective. But is it really?If you are not getting a top quality product that is made for your child’s specific needs, you may end up spending even more on having to replace it after for a new pair of glasses anyway. Most commercial optical shops do not have the selection of frames that fit the face shape and size of a child. Buying a frame for your child that is too big or ill-fitting will lead to the glasses sliding around or falling off and breaking. It’s also an issue of their self-esteem. If the glasses do not look good, they may be teased and made fun of by their peers or may not want to even wear them. Finding eyeglass frames that fit well and look good will save you money and make your kid feel great.

It’s also important to make sure the frame and lenses are made in professional labs that use top quality materials. Frames are made much more durable these days and poly carbonate lenses are impact resistant so even the clumsiest of kids don’t have to worry about their glasses falling and cracking in half. The anti-reflective coating on the lenses must be first-rate because, if not, it will begin to peel around the edges and make the lens itself foggy which means the entire lens will need to be replaced. Above all, the glasses need to be comfortable. Your child has been prescribed a medical device that needs to fit them appropriately to work properly to ensure their eyesight develops correctly. Some frames are equipped with spring hinges on the sides to ensure the temples of the frame do not fit too tightly around the head. This adds flexibility to the frame and allows for fast-growing kids to wear their glasses through growth spurts.

Metal vs. Plastic Frames

About 75% of kids today prefer to wear glasses that are made with some type of plastic material. This trend is due to the fact that kids find the bridge without the nose pads to be more comfortable and the designs have become more stylish in plastic. Metal frames made with nose pads are generally fitted for children with underdeveloped or flat nose bridges. When the child’s nose is too flat, the nose pads help keep the glasses in place so they do not slip off, fall and break. Kids like lightweight frames that look trendy and make them feel great. No kid wants to be wearing bulky glasses that weigh them down.
