Kids Glasses

The best material for kids' glasses is mostly determined by a child's age and their lifestyle factors. For younger children who are active at day care or school, frames made from durable materials like TR90 are a good choice. At Oscar Wylee, our kids' glasses lenses are made from a polycarbonate material, providing some shatter-resistance. Our Oscar Wylee kids' glasses are also made from latex-free, hypoallergenic materials, which can be more comfortable for younger children. The hinges in our kids' frames are also made to bend and flex, tough enough for the everyday activities of kids. For older children, they may be well suited to regular adult frames made from materials such as acetate, titanium, bio-acetate or TR90, made in smaller sizes.

Blue light filters should be considered for kids' glasses, more likely older kids' glasses, if the child is spending a lot of time on digital screens, such as tablets, computers and phones. Blue light filters are made to help block or reduce the blue light that digital screens emit. Blue light filters may help limit eye strain, improve comfort while using devices and improve sleep quality.

The accessories available for kids' glasses will depend on the optical retailer from which they are bought. At Oscar Wylee, our kids' glasses come with adjustable ear grips and some with a neck band, to make the glasses hard to lose.

The best frames for toddler glasses are typically those that are made with durable materials. Toddlers can be very active and not as considerate with frames that older kids may be. Durable frames with shatter-resistant lenses and flexible hinges, such as those available at Oscar Wylee, will be a good frame choice for toddlers. Toddlers may also benefit from ear grips or a neck band, which makes the glasses harder to lose.

To buy kids' glasses according to width refers to buying frames to fit the size of a child's face. Generally, kids' glasses sold by optical retailers will come in a standard, small or extra small size, to fit kids' faces. At Oscar Wylee, our glasses designed for children are an extra small size. If you have an older child who may not fit into extra small kids' glasses, there are small and narrow sizes of frames designed for adults that may fit these needs.

The colour pattern that is best for kids' glasses frames will be up to the personality and style preferences of the child.
