Children’s Eyewear
in Herndon, VA
When shopping for children’s eyewear, parents have so much to consider. From ensuring the perfect fit to choosing frames that are both durable and stylish, the right pair of glasses can make a significant difference in a child’s vision quality and how confident they feel wearing them.
At Beyond Eyecare, we have a wide selection of children’s eyewear in Herndon to choose from! Kids want to look good in their glasses, just like adults. Fortunately, our children’s eyewear comes in various fun and stylish designs that cater to their unique styles and preferences.
Fitting your children’s glasses
Getting the right fit is crucial for kids’ glasses. If your child’s glasses don’t fit well, they can be uncomfortable and won’t correct your child’s vision as well as they should.
Bridge Fit
The part of the glasses that sits on the nose should be snug but not too tight. Since kids have smaller noses, look for frames made especially for them.
Temple Length
The arms of the glasses should wrap comfortably around the ears without pinching. They should also be long enough to keep the glasses from falling off.
Lens Size
The lenses should cover your child’s entire field of vision without being too big or too small. This helps them see clearly through the center of the lens.
With a custom fitting, our optical experts ensure your child’s glasses fit perfectly and will stay in place all day long.
Picking the best frame material
Kids need glasses that can keep up with their active lives. Here are some popular materials to consider:
Plastic Frames
These are lightweight and come in a range of fun colors and styles. They’re usually more affordable and less likely to cause allergies.
Metal Frames
These are very durable and great for older kids. Look for flexible hinges to help the frames stand up to rough handling.
Flexible Frames
Made from materials like rubber or silicone, these frames are almost unbreakable—perfect for young kids who are tough on their glasses.
Choosing the right lenses
Just like frames, the right lenses are key to good vision. Here are some options to consider:
Polycarbonate Lenses
These lenses are tough and offer excellent UV protection, making them great for active kids. They are also lighter than regular plastic lenses.
Trivex Lenses
Like polycarbonate, Trivex lenses are impact-resistant and provide clear vision. They are also super lightweight.
Anti-Reflective Coating
This coating cuts down on glare, helping kids see better when they are using devices or in bright light.
By focusing on fit, durability, and style, you can help your child see better and feel great about wearing their glasses. At Beyond Eyecare, our friendly team will help you find the perfect pair of glasses for your child.
