How to Choose the Right Eyeglasses for Kids

‍

Selecting the perfect eyeglasses for your child involves more than just finding cute frames!

At Punzal Vision, we see patients of all ages, and we love to take care of our little ones!

There are many things to look for in the development of your children's eyes, and Dr. Punzal will help to diagnose any potential issues, that may be causing difficulties in your children's reading, education, and development.

The friendly and professional staff at Punzal Vision will walk you and your child through everything you need to know, and help you to find the perfect pair of glasses to match your child's facial structure, style, and most importantly properly helps to correct their vision.

Here are a few things to consider when buying eye glasses for your children:

Frame Material

Size and Fit

• Glasses should sit nicely on the nose without sliding down
• Frames should line up with eyebrows (not touching cheeks when smiling)
• Adjustable nose pads help get the fit just right

Style Considerations

• Let your child help to pick out frames that they will enjoy wearing
• Think about their face shape and favorite colors, when choosing frames
• Just remember, kids who like their glasses are more likely to keep them on!

Lens Options

• Polycarbonate lenses resist impacts and block UV rays
• Add scratch-resistant coatings for active kids
• Consider transition lenses, that darken outdoors for sun protection

Regular Check-ups

At Punzal Vision, we recommend that children come in for a regular checkup at least once a year, to ensure that any issues are addressed early on and any necessary adjustments are made to their prescription, to accommodate changes in their eyes and vision throughout their growth and development.
