Children's sunglasses: the best way to protect our children's eyesight every day of the year.
With the arrival of the long-awaited Summer and the warm months, many messages begin to reach us about the importance of protection against ultraviolet rays. However, it is very important to take care of your eyes throughout the year, especially that of the little ones.
When we are enjoying ourselves in the sun it is extremely easy to underestimate the impact that ultraviolet rays can have on our little ones' eyes. However, eye protection is crucial for long-term vision health. This is where children's sunglasses come into key play , an accessory that not only adds style to their outfit, but also provides a vital defense against sun damage.
Why are sunglasses so important for our children?
Very important fact: The eyes must also be protected, just as we take into account the use of UV protection creams for the skin. In fact, children's eyes are more sensitive to the sun than those of adults for several reasons:
- Larger pupil size: Children's pupils tend to be larger than those of adults, allowing more light to enter the eye. This means they are exposed to more ultraviolet (UV) radiation when outdoors.
- Less eye pigmentation: Eye pigmentation develops over time, and children have less pigmentation in their eyes than adults. This means they have less natural protection from direct sunlight.
- Incomplete eye development: Children's visual system is still developing, including the structures that protect the eyes from light. The cells of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, are not yet fully mature in children, which increases their sensitivity to sunlight.
- Greater exposure: Children tend to spend much more time outdoors than adults, especially playing. This means they are exposed to sunlight for longer periods, thus increasing their risk of eye damage.

What should the children's sunglasses that you buy for your children be like?
We give you the simple keys to keep in mind when you are looking for glasses for your little ones . The most important thing is to look at the same parameters as if it were a product for adults.
- First of all, make sure that they are original sunglasses, with approved filters and carry the CE mark (European Conformity) as a minimum quality standard . They must have the appropriate UV filter level, at least 3. The filter numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) indicate the amount of visible light absorption, luminosity, not radiation absorption. They go from less absorption (0) to more absorption (4).
- Category 3 is optimal for use in fairly high light conditions (spring, summer, beach and mountains). Our 100% UV category 3 (UV400) polarized lenses , designed for children ages 0-3 and 3-6 , provide maximum protection against annoying glare , while reducing light intensity and protecting children from glare (especially in very bright places like the beach or the snow) .
- Also make sure that children's sunglasses have the DROP BALL TEST certification , which certifies that in the event of breakage or accident, the glass will never break into small pieces that could damage the eye.
- Next, you must choose the most appropriate caliber or size , which in the case of children depends quite a bit on their age because it is related to the size of the face. The most common thing is that the smaller the child is, the smaller caliber of glasses they will need, although it is best that you check before buying. The glasses should cover the entire front of the eyes to prevent sunlight from filtering through the top. The more skin that is covered, the less UV exposure around the eyes.
- Taking care of the materials is essential, therefore, our models for children 0-3 and 3-6 years old are made of TPEE , since it is a material extremely resistant to pressure and impacts. It is perfect to withstand the demands and overwhelming pace of a child, but it does not end there, it is extremely light which will offer them convenience and comfort while using them.
- And, finally, select the model of children's sunglasses that best suits the use you are going to give the glasses. The glasses must be hypoallergenic, flexible and resistant to possible falls.
