Fun and Functional Glasses
for Kids in Sioux Falls
Kids’ optical needs are different from those of adults. Children's glasses have to do more than just correct vision—they need to fit into their active, fast-paced lifestyles. Whether it’s a day at school, sports practice, or just playing with friends, your child’s glasses should be comfortable, durable, and most importantly, something they enjoy wearing.
Signs Your Child May Need Glasses
It’s not always easy to tell if your child is struggling with their vision, especially because kids may not realize there’s an issue. However, some key signs might show they need glasses:
- Squinting: If your child is frequently squinting, especially while reading or watching TV.
- Sitting too close to screens: Whether it’s the TV or their tablet, sitting very close to the screen can indicate trouble seeing from a distance.
- Complaining of headaches: Frequent headaches, especially after school or homework, can be a sign of eye strain.
- Eye rubbing: While rubbing their eyes might seem like a normal habit, it can also be a sign of eye fatigue or discomfort.
- Difficulty in school: Vision problems can often go unnoticed until they begin affecting school performance. If your child is having trouble reading or focusing, it could be due to undiagnosed vision issues.
How to Choose the Right Glasses for Children
Here are some factors to consider when choosing kids’ glasses:
- Fit and Comfort: Children’s glasses need to be comfortable enough for all-day wear. They should sit securely on your child’s nose without slipping and have flexible, durable arms that can handle the bumps and tumbles of daily life.
- Durability: Kids are active, and their glasses need to keep up. Look for sturdy frame materials like plastic or metal that can withstand the wear and tear of an active lifestyle.
- Lens Material: Polycarbonate lenses are a great option for kids because they are lightweight and impact-resistant, making them ideal for children who need durable lenses that won’t easily break or scratch.
- Style and Color: Your child’s glasses should reflect their personality! Let your child be involved in the decision process—whether they want bright, bold colors or classic frames. It’s important that they feel confident wearing their glasses.
