Parts of eye glasses are not just lenses; they also have other functions.

Frames

shopping for frames

When shopping for frames for kids eye glasses, it is essential to know the size of the child’s face so that the glasses will fit properly. To do this, it is easiest to take measurements of your child’s current eyewear. These measurements are usually in millimeters.

widest part

First, measure the widest part of the lenses. Next, measure the bridge (where the bridge meets the nose).

temples

Lastly, measure the temples (from the front of the frame to where it bends) to the bend behind the ear.

choosing

When choosing frames for kids eye glasses, look for quality materials. The frames are also available with non-prescription lenses for free, and you can even get polarized sunglasses for your child to wear on sunny days.

Polycarbonate lenses

Polycarbonate lenses, for instance, are less likely to scratch than their metal counterparts. Many manufacturers add a special coating to these lenses, which reduces the likelihood of scratches and breaks.

Online retailers

Online retailers also offer a convenient shopping experience. They usually have frames and lenses priced from $10 to $46 before upgrades, with most being in the $16 to $25 range.

Buying Eyeglasses

If you’re buying eyeglasses for your child, be sure to pick lenses that fit their vision needs. Thin lenses are easier for children to wear, and your child may feel more confident. You can also choose a lens with a higher index, which is made of additional plastic. This lens is often recommended for high-power prescriptions, and it will also protect your child’s eyes from glare.

Lenses

Lenses made of polycarbonate and trivex are two of the most durable types of plastic lenses. These lenses offer UV protection and high impact resistance. They are also lighter and thinner than regular plastic lenses. However, you should keep in mind that trivex lenses will not provide as clear of a vision as those made from polycarbonate and other materials.
