Durability comes first in kids’ eyewear. Since children are generally very active, their glasses should be able to resist rough play, sudden drops, and frequent handling. Depending on the frame material chosen, comfort, along with durability and safety, can be assured. At Forever Eyewear we care about the quality of materials, given below are some of the best materials for kids’ eyewear.
TR-90 Eyewear
TR-90 is a thermoplastic material that boasts flexibility and lightweight. Such qualities make it a great option for children’s eyewear since it has the ability to flex without snapping, allowing easier wear and eliminating the risk of damage due to their daily activities. TR-90 frame spectacles are also comfortable for long hours of wearing, which makes them ideal for school as well as play.
Silicone and Rubber Frames
Rubber and silicone frames would be the safest alternatives for kids. They offer a soft, nonslip grip and a very high resistance to impact. If the glasses happen to be dropped or sat on by a child, they will break less in rubber frames. Most children’s glasses have silicone frames that are often hypoallergenic.
Acetate Frames
Made of plant-based plastic, acetate is durable and stylish. Offering vibrant colors and patterns, it is appealing to children who want to express their personalities. Less flexible than TR-90, acetate still remains a rather strong material suitable for children’s eyewear over the long run.
Selecting the right eyewear material is especially important for children’s glasses, but it also applies to comfort, durability, and safety. TR-90, rubber, silicone, acetate – everything is good; they each have their pros. Keep in mind the activity levels of your child when choosing glasses for him or her, and get styles that he or she really likes.
