With the development of eyeglasses technology, it has become more difficult to choose from the various types of children’s glasses. Here we would like to give you some advice for choosing the proper children’s prescription glasses for your reference.
The first step for choosing children’s prescription glasses should be the same as the ordinary prescription glasses- That is you should go to the eye doctor to get an accurate prescription. Next, you should consider which frame can best work for your child. The most common materials for the children’s prescription glasses frame are plastic and metal. Between the two materials, plastic should be the better choice used for children’s prescription glasses because they were considered to be more durable, less likely to be bent or broken, lighter in weight. Besides, since the children are much more active and like to jump or play all the time, so the wrap-round temple which wraps all the way around the back of the ear can be a great of help to prevent the prescription glasses from sliding down or dropping off a child’s face completely. Furthermore, the frame for children’s prescription eyeglasses should neither too loose nor too tight, so the saddle bridge is strongly recommended to the child with which you can adjust to fit the face well.
As for the lenses, you should first take the weight into consideration. Polycarbonate lens which is considered the safest materials are the best choice for children’s prescription glasses. Compared with other lenses materials, they are much lighter and impact-resistant which can protect the potential damage caused by the naughty child.
