Children's Sunglasses and Contact Lenses
The correct choice of glasses and contact lenses for children is important for their eye health and comfort in everyday life.
SELECTION OF CHILDREN'S GLASSES
Light and durable frame. Children are active, so glasses need to be durable against drops and impacts.
Flexible and comfortable materials. Choose frames made of rubber or TR90, which are less likely to break.
Safe lenses. Polycarbonate lenses are impact-resistant and offer UV protection.
Ideal Fit. Ensure that the glasses do not slide down the nose and fit well behind the ears.
Built-in UV protection.Prevents long-term damage from UV radiation.
CONTACT LENSES FOR CHILDREN
Age and maturity. Typically, children from 8-10 years old can wear lenses if they are responsible in caring for them.
Prefer daily lenses. They are healthier and reduce the risk of infections.
Good hygiene. Children should wash their hands thoroughly before touching the lenses.
Avoid sleeping with lenses. Unless they are approved for continuous wear.
Frequent eye exams. Children's eyes change quickly, so regular check-ups are essential.
Extra Tip
For younger children, glasses are usually the safest option. Contact lenses can be introduced later if the child is responsible enough to care for them.
