Importance of Sunglasses for Kids

Given the widespread awareness of the risks posed by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, parents have taken great care to protect their children's skin from the sun with clothing, hats, and sunscreen. However, a nice pair of sunglasses is typically overlooked!

UV Protection

When developing Spotters eyewear, we focus on the lenses first. Why? Because they’re the most important component in delivering 100% UV protection and perfect visual clarity. Kids' sunglasses with 100% UV protection are especially crucial because they spend far more time outside than most adults do. Plus here in Australia, we’re hit by some of the harshest UV radiation in the world! Our lenses give you 100% protection from UVA and UVB radiation. Whether the family is going on an outdoor adventure, fishing from a boat, or just soaking up the sun, our kids polarised sunglasses are the ideal option for style, quality and sun protection.

Durability

Kids run, tumble and bound their way through their day, so their sunglasses need to match their active lifestyle! To avoid any breaks or scratches, our kid sunglasses are impact-resistant, ultra flexible and designed with scratch-resistant coating. How good is that?!

Fit and comfort

If you know what to look for, fitting children's glasses is simple. The most crucial factor in choosing eyewear is comfort, so if your child appears to be in discomfort or has red lines on their face, the glasses may need to be changed. Our children's range has been designed with flexible arms which are suitable for a variety of kid's head sizes. A child's sunglasses should fit like this:

• The glasses should roughly match your child's eye socket size.
• Each eye's natural curve should be followed by your child's lenses.
• Avoid making the temples too lengthy.

Set an Example

Youngers look up to their parents, so lead by example! If you want your child to wear sunglasses while they are outside, make sure you do as well!
