Sunglasses Are Sunny Day Safety for Kids
Dr. Pegueros recommends that your child's sunglasses, whether prescription or nonprescription, carry an ultraviolet (UV) protection sticker. Look for the American Optometric Association Seal of Acceptance — it means the sunglasses block 99 to 100 percent of UV radiation.
Other things to consider in buying your child sunglasses:
Don't buy toy sunglasses. Buy real ones with UV protection. Shatterproof polycarbonate lenses that don't pop out of frames are best.
Lenses should block 75 to 90 percent of light. Look at your child with the sunglasses on — if you can see his or her eyes, the lenses probably aren't dark enough.
Sunglasses shouldn't change the color scheme. Gray lenses are recommended because they absorb light across the color spectrum equally. That means they won't distort the colors of objects you're seeing.
Lenses should block peripheral UV radiation. Purchase eyewear that is large enough for your child's head or extends out to the sides to block peripheral UV rays.
