Children's Sunglasses

Sunglasses for children are just as necessary as for an adult. The eyes of the child need protection much more than adults, children's eyes are more sensitive and more susceptible to ultraviolet light, and prolonged exposure to the sun without protective equipment can lead to visual impairment. Therefore, be sure to purchase children's sunglasses or curtains for the summer.

To provide protection for children's eyes from sunlight, you can start at any age. Almost all glasses for the smallest are equipped with elastic bands instead of arches, which allows them to hold tight and not fall down during active movements. Children's sunglasses are made of safe plastic, which is resistant to deformation.

In addition to high-grade glasses, you can buy special curtains in stores. They are mainly used when traveling by car. Sun blinds are a thin mesh cloth that is fixed to the car window.

Children's sun blinds are made of elastic materials and are suitable for windows of any size. Thanks to such curtains, the baby will be able to sleep peacefully on the road or look out the window, avoiding ultraviolet rays.

Children's glasses or curtains for sun protection must be certified according to European quality standards. Therefore, street tents and stalls are not the best options for shopping for children's sunglasses.

When purchasing glasses in ophthalmic salons, pay attention to the cost of goods. We all understand that high-quality and safe products cannot be cheap.

Returning to the topic of certificates, it should be noted that a quality tag must be present on the quality products, on which the manufacturer and brief characteristics of the goods are indicated. Often there is an inscription also on temples or glass. If there is such an inscription with the brand name, then it must coincide with the inscription on the tag.

Sunglasses for children perform the following functions:

• Provides protection against burns to eye tissues.
• Prevent diseases and damage to the lining of the eye, as well as allergies.
• Reduce the load on the eye muscles.
• Prevent dust and dirt.

All this speaks only about the advantages of such an accessory as sunglasses. But at what age should a child buy them and which model to choose?

Ophthalmologists believe that the best age for the first sunglasses is 3-4 years. All because at an early age, this accessory will be perceived as a toy. And buying high-quality, which means expensive models does not make sense.

But it also happens that before the age of three, the child begins to understand that glasses are not a reason for games. In this case, nothing prevents to buy their child earlier. And before the first purchase of glasses, the visor of the stroller will protect from ultraviolet radiation.

If you still decide to buy sunglasses for a child, then you need to remember that the right models should filter out ultraviolet radiation and close the eyes of the child as much as possible.

There are five levels of protection in total.

• 0 - This level provides the smallest protection against ultraviolet radiation. Light transmission at this level is from 80 to 100%.
• 1,2 - models with this level of protection are recommended for the city. Light transmission - 43-80%.
• 3 - perfect for the beach. Light transmission - 8-18%.
• 4 - the level is intended for trips to the mountains and hot climate.

In addition to the level of protection, when choosing a model of glasses, the functions of the lenses should be taken into account. They are ordinary, polarizing or photochromic.

Such lenses are used by drivers at night. Lenses quickly adapt to changing light brightness. It is photochromic lenses that are used in chameleon glasses.

Lenses do not let glare from reflective surfaces such as water, glass, snow, and retain visibility. Compared to conventional lenses, polarized lenses do not just obscure the blind elements, but almost completely block them and provide clarity. It is models with polarizing lenses that children's ophthalmologists recommend most often.

Glasses with polarization are made in accordance with standards and from high quality materials. In such glasses, the lens has nine layers, due to which it should transmit only vertical light. Therefore, such glasses will provide the child with clear visibility and eliminate picture distortion and excessive tension of the eye muscles.

Now a little about the design of children's sunglasses. Many brands offer different models depending on the age, gender, as well as the taste preferences of the child.

All the same Polaroid offers a collection of children's glasses Disney Premium. Glasses from this collection will appeal to both boys and girls.Favorite characters from Winnie the Pooh, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Disney princesses and other characters of famous cartoons are part of the design in combination with polarizing lenses.

Another common cartoon design of sunglasses for children is, perhaps, only for girls. The glasses are decorated with Hello Kitty. A cat that has long been loved by everyone is present in the design of many brands of children's glasses. The design of glasses for girls may differ with raspberry glasses.

A brand from America, which is recommended by many children's ophthalmologists. It is considered one of the best in protecting children's eyes from UV rays. The glasses have shockproof lenses, a frame with elastic and flexible arms.

The Real kids brand has all the quality certificates, and we comply with European safety standards.

If the child is recommended diopter lenses, then parents can buy Real kids glasses, and then contact an ophthalmologist or a specialized salon to replace glasses.

Sunglasses for children Babiators are durable. For the manufacture of frames used flexible rubber, which allows you to maintain its original shape after twisting and creases. Glasses will not break even if a child sits on them or steps on them.

Another plus sign quality is absolute protection against the full spectrum of ultraviolet rays.

Ray Ban Kids and Junior glasses are aimed at children and adolescents from 5 to 15 years. They differ in bright models with an interesting design, but retains the recognizable handwriting of Ray ban. Many children's models repeat the design of adult collections.

The main differences between children's Ray ban models from adults are the soft materials of the arms, floating nose pads, and polycarbonate lenses, their brand uses in all children's models.

Brands from Italy, which also represent lines of sunglasses for little fashionistas. Bright colors and a wide selection of glasses shapes will help to choose a model for each child. The collections are designed for children and adolescents from 1 year to 12 years.

Eclipsy frames for children's glasses are made of elastic plastic to avoid deformation. The lenses in all children's models are polymer.

Each parent knows better what his child needs and he decides at what age to accustom the baby to glasses and which ones to choose. But all parents agree on one thing. Glasses should be non-hazardous, comfortable and with a beautiful design.

If you read reviews on the Internet about children's sunglasses, then most of the parents write about the convenience of a rubber frame. Even better, if the glasses are not with arms, but with a special belt with an adjustable head circumference. This function is evaluated and given priority by mothers of very young children under 2 years old.

Of the minuses in the reviews of parents, the price is most often found. Many say that it is overpriced and does not match the quality. In such cases, with an independent study of the reviews, you need to understand where the points were purchased. Many people buy things and accessories from unverified sites or markets.

Therefore, in order to avoid disappointment, purchase sunglasses in trusted online stores and from reliable suppliers. Having saved on glasses, you do not save on the health of your own children.
