Children's Eyeglass Frames One result of a child's eye examination may be a recommendation for eyeglasses. It may be a traumatic experience as eyeglass frames during childhood through the teenage years may be cosmetically undesirable.
Children are often just as sensitive about their looks as adults.
Ideally, your eyecare professional should give children as much consideration when it comes to cosmetic appeal as they would to adults. Many manufacturers have realized this sensitivity and concern for fashion for children too. They have responded with frames in styles and colors as modern as any adult frame. Equally important, the frames are scaled down in size for the younger person's face and, when combined with professional fitting by an eyecare specialist, can be quite comfortable and cosmetically appealing. Your eyecare professional should also advise for protective eyewear for children including impact resistant lenses for the frames and prescription safety glasses for sports and activities.
