Always ensure that when chosing frames for youngsters that frames have been properly designed and manufactured for the different facial characteristics that children have. Sometimes curl sides may need to be fitted or frames specially adapted, all of which we are able to do in our onsite workshop.

Protect your child's eyes from the sun!
There is evidence that too much exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can contribute to the development of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Because children tend to spend a lot of time outdoors, it's important to protect your child's eyes in the sun. Make sure that sunglasses have 100% UV protection and carry the British Standard (BS EN 1836:2005) or CE mark. You can also protect your child's eyes by making sure they wear a hat with a brim or sun visor in bright sunlight.
However, scientific studies have shown that children who spend time outdoors are less likely to be short-sighted, and some eye problems are linked to unhealthy lifestyles. So don't stop your child exercising outdoors - just make sure their eyes are properly protected.
Playing sports exposes athletes' eyes to dangers, some of which can have serious consequences. In spite of the risks run, children and adults who wear prescription glasses have become used to wearing the same pair of glasses in their everyday life and when doing sport. But standard glasses are not designed to withstand body or ball impacts, which can result in serious injuries such as hematomas, trauma and corneal tears if a lens breaks.
