Today's eyeglasses come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. This has transformed prescription eyeglasses from a vision necessity to a fashion accessory .Eyeglasses are more durable and thinner to fit all prescriptions. Matching the right type of lightweight lenses to the frames will complement and enhance your vision. Glasses today are now becoming a fashion statement, a far cry from years ago when they were mainly used to just correct your vision. People wear several different pairs of glasses to match their wardrobe and for their specific visual needs.

Kids Frames
  • Children's eyeglasses are becoming more and more popular, just as glasses for the parents. Therefore, there are many more options available for the kids than before.
  • Today's kids frames resemble the similar style and shapes as the adult frames. Kids now can have that look just like their parents, older brother or sister .
  • In the past, kids frames were focused on pastel and bright colors, newer styles today focused on scaled down versions from the adult styles.
  • Many kids frames now days have "spring hinges" which allows the temples to bend and flex more. Thus preventing the breaking of glasses.
  • Titanium metals, Stainless steel and Plastics in round, oval, and rectangular shapes are all thin, lightweight and durable for the most active child. Many have a one year frame warranty against manufacture defects against breakage.
  • One "Key" importance for the parents to remember is to let the child feel that they have made their own decision when picking out their frame. Choosing an eyeglass frame they like will ensure that they will wear it more regularly. If they like their glasses to start with, they will be more likely to wear them.
