Myopia, or nearsightedness, is a common condition affecting many children today. As a parent, you might be concerned about how myopia will impact your child's ability to stay active and enjoy their favourite activities. The good news is, that with the right eyewear and eyecare solutions, myopia does not have to slow your kids down. Therefore, here is the basic guide for what your child needs to be able to stay active.
1. Durable Frames for Active Play
When it comes to kids, eyewear durability is crucial. Children are naturally energetic and curious, and their glasses need to keep up with their active lifestyle. Choose eyewear designed specifically for active children, with frames that are durable, flexible, and safe for everyday play. Not only will this save costs on having to replace glasses, but it will also ensure your child's eye's safety.

2. Sunglasses Against UV Rays
It is crucial to protect your child's eyes from harmful UV rays, especially when spending long hours outdoors. Sunglasses serve as more than just a fashion statement; they are a vital means of safeguarding your child's eyes from the sun's damaging effects.

One common issue with kids wearing glasses is that they can slip and fall off during vigorous activities. Ear hooks are a small but necessary solution that secures glasses in place by attaching to the arms of the glasses and looping around the ears. This provides an extra layer of security, ensuring the glasses stay put no matter how much your child moves.

Active kids can easily get their glasses dirty, so having a portable cleaning kit ensures they can keep their lenses clean on the go. Make this kit yourself by including a spectacle cleaning cloth and a lens cleaner spray in a disinfected container.
