About Our Children’s Eyeglasses

Our children’s glasses are made to the highest standards, with impact resistant lens material that ensures durability. Our lenses also undergo special processing that allows them to achieve the thinnest and lightest weight possible. This processing also allows for a better-looking, more comfortable pair of glasses. We carry a full selection of frame styles and colors sure to please any child or young adult, and offer prices to fit any budget. With a large variety to choose from, including the latest designer brand names, your child is sure to find a pair of glasses perfectly suited for them. We also carry a wide range of specialty eyewear for children, including sports glasses and sunglasses.

Choosing Your Child’s Eyeglasses

Choosing eyeglasses for your child can be challenging and we aim to make it fun for everyone. Getting your child involved in the selection of their eyewear is the single most important part of this process. If they like their glasses, they are more likely to wear them.

Our opticians will start by advising you on frame choices that best match your child’s face and prescription. We check the width of the lens to make sure the eyes are centered and they are properly placed on the bridge of the nose. We also ensure that the temples are correctly positioned around the back of the ear, which will prevent glasses from sliding down their face.

We take a great deal of time to make sure that the frame fits their face perfectly. Glasses not only allow for better vision, but they also help maintain alignment of the eyes. If a frame does not fit well, a child may not get the full therapeutic benefit and consequently refuse to wear them.

Our optician will also help you select the best frame and lens material based upon your child’s specific vision needs.
