Frame Safety: The frame of the sunglasses must have no sharp edges or metal trims and should not be easily breakable. Otherwise, child may injure themselves while playing.
High-Quality Lenses: For safety reasons, children’s sunglasses should use shatterproof resin lenses with UV400 protection. Both adults and children experience pupil dilation when wearing sunglasses. If the lenses lack adequate UV protection, harmful ultraviolet rays can penetrate unobstructed, potentially causing permanent damage in some cases.
Proper Fit for Facial Structure: Children cannot independently judge if sunglasses fit well, or too tight, or uncomfortable. It’s better leverage the expertise of an optometrist to assist with your selection. Professionals will surely recommend the most suitable sunglasses based on your child’s facial shape.
Special Considerations:
Children with amblyopia (lazy eye) should not wear sunglasses.
Sunglasses are not suitable for infants under a certain age. Their nasal bridges and ears are not fully developed to support eyewear. The best protection for infants is a wide-brimmed hat or keeping them in shaded areas.
Children should have their own properly fitted sunglasses by the time they start preschool at the latest.
