Kid's Sunglasses

Importance of sunglasses for children

For the little ones, sunglasses are much more than a fashion accessory, their eyes are still forming, so special care must be taken to protect them from the sun's rays with top quality products that do not negatively affect their development. For the kings of the house, the best sunglasses.

There are two reasons why children's sunglasses are an essential accessory in summer: on one hand, children tend to spend a lot of time outdoors during the good weather, which means they receive more sun radiation than adults; on the other hand, sunglasses can help prevent foreign bodies from getting into children's eyes during play, such as sand or pebbles that could cause an injury.

Although they may be difficult to tolerate at first, it is a good idea for children to get used to wearing sunglasses as soon as possible, as the sun's radiation can be very harmful to their eyesight. In Optica Bassol you will also find the best brands of sunglasses for women and sunglasses for men.

Baby sunglasses

It is very difficult for babies under one year of age to tolerate sunglasses, although we can try to put them on little by little so that they get used to them, although at this age the protection provided by the bonnet of the pushchair and a hat or cap is usually enough.

In any case, if we choose to buy sunglasses for babies, we must make sure that they are of the highest quality and satisfy all the conditions required by European regulations.

How to choose children's sunglasses?

Protecting and caring for children's eyes with the right sunglasses is the main concern of all parents. Therefore, when choosing the most suitable sunglasses for your child, bear in mind the following tips:

• Check that they have the CE mark, which means that they have passed the quality controls set by the European Community. All the children's sunglasses in our catalogue are from leading brands, so they will always carry this mark.
• Make sure the frame fits the child's face, with no gaps between the nose and the frame, so that it does not slip.
• If they are their first glasses, opt for lenses that are not too dark, so that they can adapt better to the change.
• If the child already wears prescription glasses, photochromic lenses can be a great solution: as they automatically darken in the light, a single pair solves both problems.

This year's trends in children's sunglasses

Protection is not at odds with the latest fashion and children's sunglasses, like those for adults, are subject to the latest trends, while complying with two indisputable maxims: comfort and resistance.

• Cheerful colours: for the little ones' sunglasses, avoid dark colours, both in the lens and in the frame; reds, greens, pinks and yellows are the trendy shades for this summer. 
• Mirrored lenses: Mirrored lenses help filter light without darkening, which makes them much more comfortable for children's eyes. Plus, they look so cute in them! 
• Just like mum and dad: if you want them to feel grown up, there's nothing better than an adult model, though reduced to their size. Ray-Ban specialises in this with its Wayfarer and children's aviator frames, but you will find many other models on our website.

Many of the leading brands in adult sunglasses have also decided to launch children's collections, thinking about the care and comfort of the youngest members of the family. At Bassol Optic you will find sunglasses for children from Carrera, Guess, Oakley, Polaroid Kids, and Ray-Ban, among others.
