Children's Sunglasses

Sunglasses for children are just as necessary as for an adult. A child’s eyes need more protection from adults, children’s eyes are more sensitive and susceptible to ultraviolet radiation, and prolonged exposure to the sun without protective equipment may lead to visual impairment. Therefore, be sure to buy for the summer children's sunglasses or curtains.

Provide protection for children's eyes from the sun can be started at any age. Almost all glasses for the smallest are equipped with elastic bands instead of bows, which allows them to hold tight and not fall off during active movements. Children's sunglasses are made of safe plastic, which is resistant to deformation.

Buying glasses in ophthalmological salons, pay attention to the cost of goods. We all understand that high-quality and safe products can not be cheap.

Returning to the subject of certificates, it should be noted that the quality products must contain a tag that indicates the manufacturer and brief characteristics of the product. Often the inscription is also on the arms or glass. If there is such an inscription with the brand name, it should coincide with the label on the label.

Sunglasses for children perform the following functions:

• Provide protection against burns to the eye tissue.
• Prevent diseases and damage to the eye shell, as well as allergies.
• Reduces the load on the eye muscles.
• Prevent dust and dirt from entering.

All this speaks only about the advantages of such an accessory as sunglasses. But how old are they to buy a child and which model to choose?

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

But it also happens that before the age of three, the child begins to realize that glasses are not a reason for playing games. In this case, nothing prevents to buy them to the child earlier. And before the first purchase of glasses, the visor of the stroller will protect against 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 child’s eyes as much as possible.

There are five levels of protection.

• 0 - this level provides the smallest protection against ultraviolet radiation. The 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 - level is intended for trips to the mountains and hot climate.

In addition to the level of protection, choosing a model of glasses, you should consider the function of the lenses. They are normal, polarized or photochromic.

Such lenses are used by drivers at night. Lenses quickly adapt to changes in the brightness of light. It is photochromic lenses used in models of glasses "chameleon".

The lenses do not let the glare from reflective surfaces, such as water, glass, snow, and retain visibility. Compared to conventional lenses, polarized ones do not just obscure glare 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 the standards and of high quality materials. In such glasses, the lens has nine layers, due to which it must transmit only vertical light. Therefore, these glasses will provide the child with a clear visibility and eliminate the distortion of the image and the extra strain on the eye muscles.

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