Below are a few tips for choosing eyeglasses for your kids.
- Frames should sit no higher than the line of the eyebrows.
- The lower edge of the frame should never sit on your child’s cheeks.
- Avoid frames that are too narrow as they will make your child’s eyes look closer together, and frames should be no wider than the width of the face at the temples.
- It's important to guarantee that your youngster can move around normally and perform errands without the glasses tumbling off their face.
- If you stress over them dropping or breaking, consider getting an eyeglass anchor to lounge around your tyke's neck.
