If you’ve been a parent for more than five minutes, chances are you know this truth: Kids are tough on clothing, furniture, carpet, walls, vehicle interiors and, especially eyeglasses!

That’s why Eyeglass World recommends you always choose Polycarbonate Lenses for your child’s eyeglasses. Unlike regular plastic lenses, polycarbonate lenses are extremely durable. You can smash them under a book, drop them, sit on them, or accidentally leave them in the bottom of your backpack, and those lenses are going to stay, pretty much, in tact.

In other words: Polycarbonate lenses are almost kid proof, making them the perfect choice for your child’s eyeglasses.

If that’s not convincing enough for you, here are three reasons why you want to make sure to order polycarbonate lenses when choosing your child’s next pair of glasses.

No Fear of Shattering

Let’s get real—having any other kind of lenses in your child’s glasses is just plain dangerous. It’s too easy for a ball (or elbow) to hit your child in the face. Without polycarbonate lenses, their eyeglasses could shatter and cause serious injury. With polycarbonate lenses, you know that your child can take the hit and even be protected. Polycarbonate lenses are used in safety glasses and even swim goggles. They’re built for durability.

They’re Lightweight

Getting your child to wear glasses that aren’t comfortable is an uphill battle. Polycarbonate lenses are so lightweight, your child will barely feel like they’re wearing glasses at all. And, parent friends, this is the goal. Help those kids forget the glasses are even there—then maybe they won’t take them off (and lose them!)

Sun Protection 24/7

Most children don’t carry around their sunglasses like we adults do. That’s why polycarbonate lenses are so incredible for kids. They have the ability to block 100 percent of UV rays from the sun. Much of the sun’s damage to our eyes happens before we even hit our twenties, so giving your kids this type of early protection from those harmful UVA rays is a true gift.

Are your child’s glasses made with polycarbonate lenses? If not, head over to your closest Eyeglass World and make the switch. The best news of all—polycarbonate lenses are extremely affordable. And, at Eyeglass World you’ll know your getting the best price around on both your child’s frames and lenses.
