When selecting eyeglass frames for children, pay attention to the characteristics of the child’s face, such as fatness and thinness, the height of the nose bridge, especially the pupil distance and other data that will affect the optical correction effect. Before buying frames, you must go through a rigorous medical optometry to come up with the exact refractive state of your child before making the purchase. Also need to pay attention to some of the following: First, most of the children’s nasal bridge is relatively low, should choose the frame nasal bracket high, or choose the adjustable nasal bracket live bracket, otherwise, the frame nasal bracket low, wear glasses, the frame will be attached to the face, and even touch the eyelashes, affecting the use of glasses.

Sixth, the glasses frame for young children need to be light, the nose rest of the frame should be lower, because the nasal bone of young children is not fully developed, can not be the same as adults. Due to the faster changes in the growth process, the frame features used to hang the ear, its ring buckle-like unend is vertically oriented, through the unend through the elastic band, and then around the buckle on the back of the toddler’s head. The tied band should not be too loose so that the glasses do not slide down from the toddler’s head.

The frame must be selected appropriately and must be taken seriously so that the child does not develop an aversion to wearing glasses. For toddler patients, age 2-5 years old, they are not yet too understanding and should be encouraged. School age children, 6-8 years old and above, they understand the importance of wearing glasses and will cooperate well.
