Frames For Children

By Jasmine Wallace


More often than not parents are often confused about what and when to buy their child a pair of glasses either for reading or full time usage. They enter the frame shop with trepidation as they are out of their comfort zone and are unsure on how to proceed. There is often a full range of glasses and frames to select from including designer frames.

The first point your optician will make is what type of prescription you child will need and why. They will go over the various options available to you and explain anything your are unsure of such as the differences in vision. Some ideas below may help put your mind at ease.

A stronger lens is often recommended when children are involved as they tend to break the glass easier due to the nature of being a child. Ask for the advice of the optician in suggesting a strong resistant lens and frames hopefully one which does not scratch too easily.

Frames often break in the hands of small children as they are constantly playing with the glasses while sitting or out playing. Only small hinges are attached to either side of the frame which holds the glasses together. They are broken easily which the kid appears to forget.

One way around this problem is to purchase an extra set of glasses at the same time of the original pair. This is sound advice were children are concerned because of all the sports they have on after or during school. You can even ask if they have a special toughen pair to cope with all the sports and climbing your child may do each week.

Opticians can offer you insurance for your children's glasses in the event of breakage. Insurance is a fabulous way of keeping costs down low when the time comes to visit for a replacement pair. Ask the eye wear doctor what is included in your warranty and what you need to pay extra for such as lens.
