Kids
Special Sunglass --
Sunglasses can improve visual comfort
and visual clarity by protecting the eye
from glare.Various types of disposable
sunglasses are dispensed to patients after
receiving mydriatic eye drops during eye
examinations.Excessive exposure to
ultraviolet radiation (UV) can cause
short-term and long-term ocular problems
such as photokeratitis, snow blindness,
cataracts, pterygium, and various forms of
eye cancer.
Children may not be as interested as adults
are in the fashion aspect of sunglasses. But
because kids spend much more time than most
adults do outdoors and in direct sunlight,
UV protection for the eyes is extra
important.

Sunglass Styles for Kids
---
The
colorful, adolescent styles are still
available, but sunglass companies have found
a niche in appealing to children's desire to
look like their parents or older siblings.
Oval, round, rectangular, cat-eye and
geometric shapes are all popular in cool,
sophisticated colors like green, blue,
tortoise and black. Metal frames are very
popular, but so are plastic sunglass frames
that look like scaled-down versions of
trendy adult styles. Also, sporty styles for
kids like wraparounds are available in
miniature adult editions.
| Styling that mimics that of adult sunglasses — cool, sophisticated and trendy. |
| Modern plastic styles in rich colors (no more bubble-gum colors). |
| Sports eyewear in scaled-down versions of adult styles. |
| Clip-on sunglasses for children's prescription eyeglasses. Clip-ons are readily available and reasonably priced. |
| Brand name appeal. Kids are becoming nearly as brand-conscious as their parents and older siblings. |
