Sunglasses for children … YES indeed!

From the earliest years of life, it is essential to protect the eyes from ultraviolet rays A and B (UVA and UVB). That’s why choosing good sunglasses for your children is not just a matter of style, but an investment in their eye health. With the right selection, you can help prevent future degenerative eye diseases from appearing, worsening, or progressing.

It is also highly recommended to schedule regular visits to the ophthalmologist for eye check-ups, so that any visual problem can be detected and treated in time.

Key features to consider in the lenses

• Ultraviolet protection (UV): make sure they block UVA and UVB rays 100%. The label should specify UV400, which guarantees complete protection against solar radiation.
• Light filters: filters range from category 0 (filtering 20% of visible light) to category 4 (blocking between 92% and 98%). Choosing the right filter ensures eye comfort even in very bright conditions. OXG eyewear usually employs category 3 filters, considered the most versatile for everyday use.
• Lens size: ideally large, adapted to the child’s face, protecting not only from the front but also from the sides, ensuring the widest possible visual field.

The importance of the frame
Sunglasses are not only a protective accessory: they also reflect the child’s style and personality. The frame plays a key role:

• Safe materials: hypoallergenic, resistant, and flexible. At OXG eyewear, polycarbonate and TR90 are preferred for their durability and comfort.
• Perfect fit: glasses should adapt well to the face, with eyes centered in the lenses and no risk of slipping when looking down. This ensures comfort and prolonged use.
• Variety of designs: trendy colors and styles. If the child likes them, they’ll wear them enthusiastically, turning them into a healthy habit. OXG eyewear offers a wide range of models constantly renewed.

✅ Summary
Children’s sunglasses must:

• Have CE certification.
• Guarantee 100% UV protection (UV400).
• Fit perfectly to the child’s face.
• Be made of hypoallergenic, resistant, and flexible materials.

And remember: regular visits to the ophthalmologist are essential to prevent visual problems and ensure optimal eye health from childhood.
