In today's era, myopia in children is no longer uncommon, and the phenomenon of wearing glasses at a young age is also common. It is understandable to wear glasses when the eyes are nearsighted, but what many parents do not know is that children's physical development is different from adults. Therefore, when wearing glasses for children, it is also necessary to follow the developmental rules of children, otherwise it may bring "secondary harm" to your children. So how can we avoid secondary injuries by providing children with glasses?
1. It's best to wear glasses with nose pads
Because children are in the developmental stage, their head, especially nose bridge height, will be much lower than that of ordinary adults. In this case, if the glasses do not have a nose pad, it can cause the glasses to get close to the eyeball and even touch the child's eyelashes, causing damage to the child's eyes.
2. The material of the frame should be light and resilient
We all know that children in their childhood love to move and throw anything around, including the glasses they wear. So, when choosing eyeglass frames for children, it is best to choose lighter and more durable ones, which can make the glasses durable. More importantly, lighter eyeglass frames will not cause too much pressure on the child's nose bridge.
3. The style and size of the frame
When children choose metal eyeglass frames, it is best to choose full frame frames instead of half frame or frameless frames, as these two types of frames are more susceptible to damage. The size of the frame should match the child's face shape. If it is too small, it will be uncomfortable to wear; If it is too large, it cannot be worn and is prone to slipping.
4. Selection of Lens Material
Like eyeglass frames, the choice of lens material should also consider lightweight to reduce the pressure on the nose bridge caused by glasses. Usually, when wearing glasses for children, it is common to choose PC lenses because they are not easily broken, have good safety, and are lightweight, which is very suitable for children's needs.
5. Selection of Lens Color
It is generally not recommended to choose colored glasses for children to wear. On the one hand, colored lenses reduce the amount of light transmitted through the lenses. From outdoors to indoors, the light is different, and the eyes need to be constantly adjusted, making eye fatigue more likely to occur; On the other hand, because children are still in the stage of growth and development, they need external environmental stimulation. Long term wearing of this type of dye will reduce the stimulation to the eyes, which is not conducive to the healthy development of children's eyes.
6. You can choose coated lenses
Children are lively and active, and do not take good care of their glasses, so many children's lenses often have scratches or severe wear and tear. Wearing these "injured" lenses is very detrimental to children's vision. In order to protect their children's vision from "secondary damage", it is recommended that parents choose lenses with hard coating for their children. These lenses have a very hard texture and are not easily scratched or scratched.
