Searching for a perfect pair of prescription eyeglasses for our kids always seems to be difficult, sometimes even confusing for us parents. Though there are varieties of kids glasses frames at any local stores, finding just one starting point is difficult. Comfortable ones may not have pretty looking, cheap ones may last not so long, actually, there are so many problems when we are buying kids glasses!
The style is usually a big deal during the procedure, kid-friendly colors as well, I suggest you can give the right to your children themselves, they know what kind of frame, color and style they want to wear, after that, some details which they don’t care much while you have to think more times need to be discussed carefully, such as the frame and lens material, index of their lenses, 1.499 or 1.51. So, here are four suggestions you need to take care when buying these kids glasses, and sometimes, you can also get them from your eye doctor.
Scratch resistant coatings, you know today such coatings are fixed in almost all kinds of plastic lenses, absolutely including kids glasses, however, I suggest you can upgrade them to heavy duty scratch-resistant coating. Kids are really tough on their glasses, and the lenses can get scratched more easily than adults’. During the ordering process, pay attention to their scratch proof especially!
Next is spring cabled hinges, which can be bent outward towards kids ears, swapping them firmly to prevent kids glasses sliding down from their face, such hinges are really flexible, and it is easy for children to put on or take them off!
Silicone nose pads, kids really don’t have mature nose bridges as us adults, so ordinary kids glasses may make them feel heavy to afford the weight of their whole frame, especially those metal or stainless steel ones, however, we have the opportunity to choose silicone nose pads now, which will make kids feel comfortable to wear them, as such nose pads can release the weight from the frame, and they also help kids glasses to locate at a correct position.
And the last factor I want to highlight is the warranties, actually, we need a warranty when we buy anything, not only kids glasses, however, many vendors promises a two-years or even longer period of wearing time, you need to pay attention to this, as kids will just outgrow the glasses frames or lenses, and the promise may be just a trick!
