Back to school is the right time to check on children's glasses: to see if the visual correction is still adequate, replace damaged frames, or simply choose a new pair to accompany children and teenagers into the new year. At Infinity Vision, you'll find a selection of prescription and sunglasses designed for the young ones — with the quality of the most reliable brands.
Why it's important to check children's eyesight before school starts
Sight is one of the main tools for learning. An uncorrected visual defect — even a slight one — can significantly impact concentration, reading, and school performance. Children often don't report vision problems because they have no point of comparison: for them, blurry vision might seem normal.
Signs to look out for include: getting too close to a book or screen, squinting, complaining of headaches after reading, or difficulty copying from the board. If you notice any of these behaviors, it's time to book an eye exam.
Kids' prescription glasses: what to look for
Kids' prescription glasses must meet different needs than adult ones. The fundamental characteristics are:
- Durability — children's frames must withstand bumps, drops, and intensive daily use. Flexible materials like TR90 or nylon are ideal.
- Lightweight — a heavy frame causes discomfort and is frequently removed, negating the visual correction.
- Secure fit — temples must be long enough, and hinges sturdy, to ensure the glasses stay in place during movement.
- Appealing design — children are more likely to wear glasses they find attractive. Involving them in the choice increases compliance.

Kids' sunglasses: UV protection is mandatory
Children's eyes are more vulnerable to UV rays than adults': their lenses filter less ultraviolet light, increasing the risk of long-term damage. Choosing sunglasses with certified UV400 protection is not an option — it's a necessity.

Practical tips for going back to school with glasses
- Always carry the case — teach children to put their glasses in the hard case when not wearing them, especially in a backpack.
- Microfiber cloth always on hand — to clean lenses without scratching them during the school day.
- Check the fit every 6 months — children grow quickly, and the frame might become too tight or loose.
- Annual eye exam — children's visual correction can change rapidly. An annual check-up is the minimum recommended.
Frequently asked questions about children's glasses
At what age can children start wearing glasses?
There is no minimum age: glasses are prescribed when necessary, even for newborns in cases of significant visual defects. The earlier a visual defect is corrected, the better the long-term results for the child's visual development.
Are sunglasses necessary for children even in winter?
Yes, especially in the mountains or on snowy days. Snow reflects up to 90% of UV rays, and children's eyes are particularly vulnerable. UV protection is necessary all year round, not just in summer.
How to convince a child to wear glasses?
Involving them in the choice is the most effective method. Let them choose the color or model they prefer — feeling like they are part of the decision significantly increases compliance. Brands like Emporio Armani Kids and Ray-Ban Junior offer attractive designs that children find "cool."
