1. Shatter-Resistant Lenses
Every year, thousands of kids sustain eye injuries from accidents at home or at play. And when they're playing sports, their rough and tumble can lead to injuries nobody wants. Glasses help kids see better but also prevent irritants from getting into their eyes. However, if glasses are not shatterproof, all that protection can amount to nothing. Shards getting into their eyes is an absolute no.
2. Scratch-Resistant Lenses
Dust and dirt in the air can scratch lenses without anyone noticing. Scratched lenses can impede their vision because of refracted light which can even cause headaches. Also, when they wear scratched glasses for extended periods of time that can cause eye strain. A scratch-resistant coating is a great feature for giving your kids the best vision at all times.
3. Non-Slip Grip
Rubberized nose pads and temples are another must-have feature for kids' glasses. The rubberized material helps the frame stay on their faces even as they work up a sweat, and helps the frame sit comfortably for all-day wear.
