Children's Eyeglasses
For children, having a fresh pair of eyeglasses can really improve their quality of education and everyday life. Because a child’s vision system is still developing, glasses may play an important role in insuring normal vision and encouraging development. As with any decision you make involving your kids, there are some important factors to consider when buying eyewear. All of the options may seem a bit confusing at first, but these alternatives make it easy to find a style that’s perfectly suited for your child’s lifestyle.

Frame Materials
Children’s glasses are made of different materials that offer different virtues. FramesDirect.com carries metal, plastic and flexible frames specifically designed for the size and needs of children.
-Metal frames are usually strong, lightweight and hold their shape well. They may also resemble Mom’s or Dad’s glasses, which many kids love.
Metal frames
are made with many different alloys so choose hypoallergenic options if your child has metal sensitivities.
-Plastic frames are often very lightweight and less expensive. They come in a variety of colors and patterns that allow kids to express their personalities.
Plastic frames
them ideal for sports. are also durable which makes
-Flexible frames can be made of metal or plastic. On some
flexible frames
, the temples have spring hinges that allow them to overextend without breaking the legs. The springs also help the glasses maintain their proper fit. Some flexible frames are so called because the legs are bendable and can wrap completely around the back of the ear. This helps keep the glasses in place and works well for young children with small noses.
Lens Materials
Children’s eyeglass lenses need to be durable. The ideal lens material for them is polycarbonate, a shatterproof polymer. It’s so tough that NASA uses the same material to make visors for astronauts. Polycarbonate is also lighter than glass or regular plastic lenses, blocks UV rays and is scratch resistant.
Coolness Factor
Some parents worry about getting their child to actually wear glasses. Kids will probably be concerned about teasing, but choosing frames that are considered ‘cool’ will work wonders in getting your child to sport their new glasses. When kids play an active role in selecting the frames they want, they’ll feel much more comfortable wearing them. And with interesting brands like Barbie, Hersheys, Ed Hardy Kids, Thalia girls and more, children will love all the choices at FramesDirect.com.
