Frequently Asked Questions

How to choose sunglasses for toddlers?

When selecting sunglasses for toddlers, prioritize protection, durability, and comfort to ensure they wear them consistently. Look for the following key features:

Maximum UV Protection: Essential for safeguarding young eyes, choose sunglasses that block 99-100% of both UVA and UVB rays. This is the most critical factor.
Comprehensive Eye Coverage: Opt for larger lenses or wraparound styles that cover a significant portion of the eyes and surrounding skin, preventing sunlight from entering from the sides.
Durability: Toddler sunglasses should be robust and able to withstand drops and rough handling. Look for flexible frames and impact-resistant lenses, such as those made from polycarbonate.
Imperfection Check: Before purchasing, thoroughly inspect the lenses for any scratches, distortions, or imperfections that could impair vision or comfort.
Child's Choice: Involve your child in the selection process. Letting them choose a style or color they like increases their willingness to wear the sunglasses regularly.

At what age should kids start wearing sunglasses?

Children should begin wearing sunglasses as early as 6 months of age. For older children, sunglasses are recommended whenever they are outside, regardless of the environment. If a child wears prescription glasses, they should also be fitted with prescription sunglasses.

How to get a toddler to keep sunglasses on?

To help a toddler keep sunglasses on, first ensure the sunglasses are the correct size for their face. Once you have a well-fitting pair, attach a sunglasses strap. A strap secures the sunglasses to prevent them from falling off, getting lost, or being damaged, which encourages consistent wear by keeping them readily available and reducing the chance of them being removed or misplaced.
