Choose sunglasses for children carefully

With the coming of the summer, more and more people begin to wear different kinds of sunglasses such as wraparound sunglasses, aviator sunglasses while staying out. More parents have begun to pay attention to buy sunglasses for their children. Some experts pointed out those children should wear sunglasses when they hang out in sunny days because children’s eyes are more susceptible to sunlight than adults. A research by American Optometric Association shows that children’s crystalline lenses are more transparent than grown-ups, which means that short wavelength light will irradiate their retina more directly. As is known to all, short wavelength light and ultraviolet light may probably lead to various eye diseases, and excessive UV Radiation can cause blurred vision and even blindness. Sonal Rughani, a member of the British Royal Institute of Blindness, said that we should encourage children to protect their eyes as well as buy sunglass to provide necessary protection.

It is noteworthy that when parents are in the purchase of sunglasses for their children, be sure to avoid buying toy sunglasses. It not only has no effect on protecting eyes but also will damage kids’ eyesight. So there is no such need to wearing a sunglass just for cool.

When choosing sunglasses for kids, five points need to be noted:

First, children should not wear sunglasses for a long time. Children are still in the phase of growing, they can wear sunglasses only for obstructing from strong sunlight or for special need.

Second, sunglasses for kids are better made from resin lenses, PC or other materials that are resistant to damage.

Third, sunglasses for kids must be guaranteed to be able to prevent ultraviolet radiation, and the best choice is a 100% UV protection product.

Fourth, pay attention to the color of the lenses while choosing a sunglass for child. Generally speaking, a dark gray one is better than others because it causes minimal color distortion; while a yellow or red one is which you need to avoid.

Fifth, choose a sunglass of a regular brand for your kids from a regular way, which can ensure the quality of the sunglass.
