Frequently Asked Questions About Kids' Glasses
Is it Time to Get New Kids’ Fashion Frames for Your Child?
Summer is a great time to shop for new glasses for your kids so you can beat the back-to-school rush.
When Should I Get Glasses for My Kids?
Eye doctors recommend that kids have annual eye exams just like adults. Your children’s vision can change throughout the year—and they are unlikely to even realize it! So schedule your back-to-school eye exam at a Visionworks store near you to ensure their prescription is up-to-date.
Are My Kids’ Best Lenses Different than Mine?
While your kids’ frames may be smaller than yours, their lenses require the same high-grade material and technology to yield crystal clear vision and durability. Our Visionworks eye care experts recommend investing in polycarbonate lenses for kids' glasses, because this shatter-resistant material has a great safety profile and can stand up to scratches, smudges and dust. Additionally, you may want to look into blue light glasses for kids who spend a lot of time online and light-reactive lenses for kids who like to play in the sun.
How Many Pairs of Glasses Do My Kids Need?
Remember, kids will be kids and accidents happen—no matter how careful they are. Our Visionworks eye doctors recommend investing in two pairs of glasses for kids so they have a backup pair in case of loss or breakage. Check out our latest special offers on glasses to score a backup pair without dipping into the summer vacation fund.
