Should your child wear kid's glasses all the time?

Unless your optometrist advises otherwise, it is a good idea to make your child wear their kid's glasses all the time. This will ensure that your child's vision develops normally and it also enables your child to adjust their eyes to their new eyewear.

What are the best kid's glasses?

There are several things to keep in mind when choosing the best kid's glasses. You should go with one that has flexible frames which are also unbreakable. If your child is going to wear their glasses when viewing a computer screen, then make sure that you choose a pair with blue-light-blocking lenses.

How often should your child's eyes be tested when he or she needs kid's glasses?

Your child should first get their eyes tested when they are just six months old. After that, you can have their eyes tested at the age of three and then when they reach their fifth or sixth birthday. If your child goes to school and needs a kid's glasses, then you should have their eyes tested every two years.

How to tell that your child needs a kid's glasses when he or she is so young?

Thanks to new technologies, it is very easy to check that your child needs a kid's glasses even when your child is just one year old.

How do kid's glasses work?

Kid's glasses work by correcting refractive problems. This means that they are designed to bend light in a way that ensures that your child can see clearly at all times. Laser surgery can also help your child see clearly but it is not recommended because your child is still growing.

The Right Ways to Choose Kids Glasses

Buying kid's glasses at an optometrist's store is not the best option. It can be confusing and the number of options available to you at such stores is also very limited. It makes more sense for you to shop online for your child's glasses as there is no shortage of frames to choose from and their prices are also much lower. However, before you buy the glasses from an online store there are a few things to keep in mind. You need to, for example, be clear about the thickness of the lenses, and you also need to learn to choose a modern and attractive pair for your child.

Things to keep in mind when choosing kid's glasses

Your main consideration when choosing kid's glasses is your child's prescription. Before you choose a frame, you need to talk with your optometrist to find out what the best lenses for your child are. If your child has a strong prescription, then you should avoid large frames. You also want to motivate your child into wearing their glasses. The best way to do so is by choosing a modern and attractive pair. Most frames for your child's glasses are made from either plastic or metal. Your child will probably be attracted to these frames as they will help to make your child look more grown-up. For a long time, plastic frames were the most popular option but these days, metal frames are getting a lot of attention. This is because modern metal frames incorporate the same features that have made plastic frames so popular among kids. If your child has sensitive skin, then choose frames that are made from hypoallergenic materials.

What about the fit of your kid's glasses?

It is usually quite hard to find a frame that fits your child's face perfectly. This is because, at a young age, your child's nose is not fully developed. This means that they do not have a bridge that will prevent the glasses from sliding down. Metal frames come with adjustable nose pads and hence are a better option. So, make sure that you evaluate each frame to ensure that it fits the bridge of your child's nose. You also want to buy a pair that has the right temple style. Ideally, you want to choose a temple style that wraps around the child's ears to ensure that the glasses won't slide down or drop off your child's face. A pair with spring hinges is also a good option because these hinges allow the temples to flex outward without breaking. Since your child will not be very careful about how he or she handles the glasses, you should choose a pair with spring hinges for longer life and more durability. Finally, you need to choose a pair with the right lenses. You should go with polycarbonate lenses or Trivex lenses as they have inbuilt UV protection and the lenses are also scratchproof. Now that you know how to choose kid's glasses, go ahead and shop for them at a good online store where the prices are low and the quality high.

How to find a good online store to buy kids glasses online?

Buying glasses for kids can be really cumbersome. This is because kids can become adamant at times regarding their choice of their glasses. The main reason behind that could be watching their peers wearing a particular type of frame which might be in fashion. They may not find the designs available at stores nearby you as suitable. In this case, it would be a smart idea to buy kids' glasses online.

After spending almost a crazy amount on glasses from my doctor, I despised them. Out of desperation I came here and started printing out different frames. I have a small face and had a difficult time finding frames that weren't too wide. I wish they gave more information on how to understand the measurement between the lenses. I picked the Trento because of the overall width and the smaller nose piece measurement. They are perfect! They fit so comfortably and for some reason, my vision while on my tablet or computer is so much better than with my expensive glasses. The only upgrade I got was the non-reflective coating. I'm never buying glasses from my doc again!

I love these glasses! I've had them for a year and haven't had any problems at all. I was even able to wear them during all of my softball games this summer. I love that they stayed on the whole time!

They had the frames I wanted at a great price with fast shipping and even offer a 20% discount which was awesome. I would order again in the future next time I need new glasses.

Your "try me" function works great. As soon as my eye center is back to work I will be ordering sports sunglasses with my new prescription. Perfect for my motorcycle riding.

Ever since finding https://www.glassespeople.com, I always purchase my eyeglasses and sunglasses through this website. We live in a rural area, without a lot of options for optical needs. GlassesPeople makes it very easy to submit my specifications, select the eyewear/sunglasses that work best for me, and do so in a fast efficient manner.

I've ordered these glasses twice and love them. You just can't get any better quality for the price. These glasses easily hold up against any glasses I've bought from my eye doctor, which run upwards of $200 because I have a high prescription. I will continue to use this website-the quality and service is unmatched.

Easy website to navigate. Glasses arrived well packaged. Have been using them for 2 weeks now, no headaches, no fuzziness, no problems. Glasses are good quality, I will use this company again, having been recommended by my wife, who has also used them.

Service was excellent and my response to my questions was timely. I have recommended this website to several people and I know at least one of them ordered and is happy with their purchase as well. I only did a single vision to see what I thought of the product. I will order my bifocals soon, since the product is all I hoped it would be.
