Why do kids get glasses?
For kids, it may not always be that easy to recognise when they are having difficulty with their vision. That is why many experts recommend learning a little more about eye health in order to recognise if your child has any visual defects. In recent years, the number of children needing glasses has risen and experts say it can not only be down to genetics. Some say that reducing screen time may help prevent kids from needing glasses. There are several reasons why children may need glasses:
- To strengthen their vision in a weak or lazy eye
- Improve their vision overall
- To protect their vision if one eye is performing poorly
- To improve the position of their eyes, if they are affected by, for example, crossed eyes
Some kids may not at first recognise it themselves and therefore it is important for parents to pay particular attention and notice certain signs that may indicate if their child needs kids glasses.
- If one eye is performing poorly, your child may begin to tilt their head or cover one eye, trying to adjust their vision
- Even squinting could be a sign that their vision isn’t focusing well
- If they need to stay close to certain objects to see clearly, they may be affected by poor distance vision
- If they complain about headaches and eye pain
- If they find it hard to focus on their work and continuously need to rub their eyes, it could mean that their vision isn’t performing too well
Before jumping online to buy kids glasses, consult a local optician first who can give your child an eye test and determine whether their vision needs correcting through glasses. If your child needs prescription glasses, all you’ll need to purchase kids glasses online is the prescription given to you by the optician, super easy.
Are children’s prescription glasses free?
Depending on your location it is good to check and see if local opticians or eye services have special discounts, free eye tests or deals for kids that need prescription eyeglasses. Globally, many kids under a certain age have access to a free eye test, so bringing your kid for a regular cheap-up could be beneficial. Unfortunately, many kids glasses do have a cost but at very affordable prices. At SmartBuyGlasses we offer a range of kids glasses online at cheap prices but high-quality with a free 1.5 prescription lens included, for the majority of the eyewear. So no worries, you won’t be spending too many rupees.
Just pick a cheap frame, which you can find in many cool shapes like, pilot, square or round, and proceed with the prescription your child needs and you won’t even notice the cost, as your child can now improve their vision.
How to choose glasses for a child?
If curious to jump in and discover how to choose the right kids glasses online, then have a read through SmartBuyGlasses 5 tips for buying the right kids glasses. Choosing frames and lens materials can be overwhelming, especially when you want to pick the correct glasses for your child.
- Let’s start from the lens thickness, yes depending on the power value of your child’s prescription glasses, some lenses may be thicker than others. The higher the value the stronger the prescription therefore the lens will be thicker. If the prescription is weaker then the lens will usually be thinner. In regards to thicker lenses, as they can be heavier, they would need to be fitter with stronger frames that can help protect them.
- Throughout the years, adult frame materials have been replicated for kids glasses, as both plastic and metal frames are durable. If you’d like to know more about frame materials have a look at this video guide.
- The lens material is also important to keep in mind. The best lens material for the best eye protection glasses for kids is polycarbonated lenses. Durability, anti-scratch resistance and excellent optics, are the main characteristics of polycarbonate lenses. But it doesn’t end there, this lens also has UV protection filters built-in, perfect for any type of prescription lens. Additionally, you can upgrade to the zFORT® Blue light blocking coating especially if your kid frequently uses digital devices.
- Once you’ve picked the best eye protection glasses for kids, don’t forget that the glasses also need to be comfortable on their faces. If they feel that the glasses aren’t sitting right, then consider a different style or frame.
- Kids love to run around, play, do sports, climb trees and more. Polycarbonate lenses as mentioned are durable but regular frames may not take it too well if your kid is very active. If your child loves to play sports then maybe you’d want to consider investing in a pair of PROGEAR kids glasses. This will protect both your kids’ eyes and their glasses.
Comfortable and adjustable glasses for kids
Luckily the SmartBuy Kids collection has a range of comfortable and adjustable kids glasses online that will offer great comfort. One main feature is the adjustable nose pads, which can help the glasses sit lower or higher on your kid’s face and adjust them to their vision. They come in a rectangle or pilot frame shape and lots of colours. Others have spring hinges and are very flexible to adjust to the size of your kid’s face.
Not only will your kids find affordable long-lasting eyewear, with protective lenses and coatings, but also a range of colourful and comfortable glasses that will sit just right and help them see the world around them more clearly.
