Last week, my 12-year-old son broke his eyeglasses again when he was playing with other children. I have warned him many times to take care when playing since he has to wear eyeglasses all the time. It is really danger if the broken eyeglasses hurt his eyes. I do not know what the reason is, but he has poor eyesight since birth. When he was in kindergarten he began to wear prescription eyeglasses. The eyeglasses problem has been a big trouble for me for many years. You know, children, especially boys, tend to do a lot of violent games, such as basketball, football and something like that. I am really worried that he hurt himself if his eyeglasses got broken.
However, love playing is the nature of every boy; he won’t listen to me all the time. So what I can do is try to buy safe prescription eyeglasses for him. What kind of eyeglasses is suitable for children to wear? Personally, I think there are three basic points to take into consideration when choosing kid’s eyeglasses.
First, the lenses should be impact-resist and would not break into pieces when being impacted violent. You know, the pieces of the lenses are too danger for the eye. So lenses made of plastic are best choice for kid’s eyeglasses. Make sure the quality is good when choosing lenses. Second, the frame is also very important for kid’s eyeglasses. Since children always playing violently with others, we must make sure the frame is durable and safe to wear. Plastic frames are most suitable to children because they won’t be broken easily; while frames made of metal are not so safe for children to wear. Third, as children’s nose bone is still in the growing stage, we must make sure the eyeglasses would not give too much pressure to the nose, so the nose pads of eyeglasses should be soft enough. Besides, always choose lenses and frames that are most lightweight.
Children are growing quickly, and the conditions and features of children’s face and vision is changing all the time. To ensure our children wear right prescription eyeglasses, we should buy new eyeglasses for them frequently. So kid’s eyeglasses should be too expensive. Based on my eyeglasses shopping experience, I think shopping eyeglasses online is a good way to both save money and get good eyeglasses at the same time. www.cheapprescriptionglasses.net is an online optical store to which I have been a regular costumer. Just for your reference. |
