In the face of the trend of myopia at a younger age, it is crucial to choose the right glasses for children. The following are some suggestions for choosing children's glasses, which parents can refer to.
1. Professional optometry
Take your child to a professional optical shop or ophthalmology hospital for optometry to ensure accurate myopia and pupil distance information, which is the basis for choosing suitable glasses.
2. Material selection
Choose lightweight, durable and safe materials, such as titanium alloy, high-quality plastic, PC sheet or Trivex material. Avoid choosing heavy metal frames and fragile glass lenses to avoid discomfort or safety hazards to children.
3. Frame size and shape
Make sure the frame size is suitable for the child's face shape, not too large or too small. The frame shape is preferably simple, round or oval, and avoid overly complicated styles.
4. Lens refractive index and function
Choose the appropriate refractive index according to the child's myopia to ensure that the lens thickness is moderate. At the same time, you can consider choosing lenses with functions such as anti-fatigue to protect your child's eyes.
5. Try on and adjust
Let your child try on a variety of children's glasses and choose the most suitable one. If necessary, you can ask the store clerk to help adjust the temples and nose pads to ensure the comfort and stability of the glasses.
In addition, as the child grows older and the degree of myopia changes, children's glasses need to be replaced regularly.
