Why Choose Smart Vision Optometry for Children’s Eyewear?

03

Guidance

Our team can help assess frame position, comfort and your child’s preferences. A frame that slips or presses against the face may need adjustment; ask for a fit check as your child grows.

04

Wide Selection of Frames

Our team can help you compare children’s frames for fit, comfort and style. Sizes, models and stock vary, so please confirm current availability with your preferred practice. Consider:

  • Durable Frames: Discuss frame materials and suitability for your child’s everyday activities.
  • Stylish Designs: Include your child in choosing a style they like.
  • Comfortable Fit: Ask the team to check frame weight, position and adjustment.
05

Comprehensive Eye Care Services

An eye assessment helps determine whether glasses are needed and which prescription and follow-up are appropriate. Learn about children’s eye care and our eye assessments.

06

Thorough Eye Examinations

The optometrist selects tests for your child’s age, symptoms and needs, and discusses findings, treatment options or referral where appropriate. Tell the team about persistent discomfort, difficulty seeing or trouble wearing prescribed glasses.

07

Prescription Lenses

Lens design and material should follow your child’s prescription and clinical needs. Ask about impact-resistant materials, such as polycarbonate, and whether specialist lenses are appropriate. Everyday glasses are not a substitute for sport-specific protective eyewear.

08

Lens Coatings and Treatments

Discuss UV protection, surface coatings, cleaning requirements and any additional cost with the team. Ask what each option is intended to do; optional coatings do not replace an appropriate prescription or a well-fitting frame.

09

Tips for Choosing Children’s Frames

  • Durability: Discuss materials and repair options. No everyday frame is unbreakable; ask about sports eyewear for activities with eye-injury risk.
  • Comfort: Have the fit checked around the nose and ears, with the eyes positioned appropriately behind the lenses. The frame should not rest on cheeks or eyelashes.
  • Style: Choose frames that your child likes and feels good wearing, as this will encourage them to keep their glasses on.
