If your kid plays sports with everyday glasses, chances are you've had to deal with broken frames. And even if your kid doesn't play sports, glasses are easily broken from everyday activities. To preserve your peace of mind as well as your wallet, check out our list of the sturdiest glasses for kids.

Buying Durable Kids' Glasses

No pair of glasses is truly unbreakable, but here are some things to look for to preserve the longevity of your kid's glasses.

  • Plastic frames
  • Straight temples
  • Spring hinges
  • Rubberized grip on the nose and/or temples
  • ASTM F803 rating

These contribute to a durable pair of glasses, but like we mentioned, no glasses are 100% indestructible. That being said, here's our list of the strongest ones.
