Kids’ eyewear
Glasses they will love to wear
Light, tough and fun frames for children, fitted with care so they stay on through school, sport and play.
For growing eyes
Clear sight helps them learn and play
Children rarely say that they cannot see well. They simply think everyone sees the way they do. A regular eye check and the right pair of glasses can make school, reading and play easier.
At Eye Lounge we take time with children: we help them pick a frame they like, check that it fits a small face properly, and adjust it as they grow.
What makes a good kids’ frame
Light and flexible
Frames that bend a little and come back, for the knocks of everyday life.
The right size
A bridge that sits on a small nose and arms of the right length, so the glasses stay in place.
Safer lenses
Impact-resistant lens materials for active children. Ask us which suit your child.
Colours they choose
When children pick the colour themselves, they are happier to wear their glasses.
For parents
Signs your child may need an eye test
If you notice any of these often, book an eye test.
Trying to see more clearly, especially at the board or the TV.
Holding books close to the face or sitting near the screen.
Often rubbing the eyes or blinking a lot, especially after reading.
Headaches or tired eyes after school or homework.
Using a finger to follow lines, or skipping words when reading.
Losing interest in reading, colouring or homework.

Tips for parents
For any eye problem, pain or redness, please see an eye doctor.
- Let your child choose the colour: they will wear the glasses more happily
- Bring the old glasses and any eye reports to the store
- Ask about a strap for sports and play
- Have their eyes checked regularly as they grow
- Teach them to take glasses off with both hands and keep them in the case

From what age can children wear glasses?
Children of any age can wear glasses if they need them. We help you find a frame that fits a small face.
How often should my child’s eyes be checked?
Children’s eyes change as they grow. Ask your eye doctor how often your child should be checked.
What if the glasses break?
Bring them to the store. Many problems, like loose screws or bent arms, can be fixed quickly.
