How to choose appropriate children's glasses?
Children's eyes are not fully developed and are vulnerable to various external factors. Therefore, if children have vision problems, it is very important to choose appropriate glasses as soon as possible. Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, as a professional children's eye hospital, needs to consider many factors when choosing glasses for children, including the type of glasses, lens material, frame style and brand. The following will elaborate on how to select appropriate children's glasses from these four aspects.
Type selection: myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism
First of all, it is very important to understand whether a child's vision problem is myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. Different types of glasses need to be selected for different vision problems to meet children's vision correction needs. For children with myopia, they can choose myopia glasses of appropriate degree; For children with hyperopia, hyperopia glasses of appropriate degree can be selected; For children with astigmatism, astigmatic glasses suitable for the degree and degree of astigmatism can be selected. The ophthalmologist will determine the type of glasses the child needs based on the child's vision test results and eye examination.
In addition, there are some special types of glasses, such as night glasses, anti blue glasses, etc. These glasses can be used for vision protection under special circumstances, such as at night or when using electronic products for a long time.
Lens material selection: comfortable, safe and wear-resistant
Children's glasses should be made of comfortable, safe and wear-resistant materials. Comfort means that the lens should be thin, clear and free of color difference, and it is not easy to generate glare; Safety means that the lens should avoid fragmentation and eye irritation, and select materials with high impact resistance; Wear resistance means that the lens should be able to withstand the use and friction of children, and the scratch resistant material should be selected.
Common lens materials include resin lens, glass lens and anti blue lens. The resin lens is light, thin and transparent, with good wear resistance, and is a common choice; Glass lenses have high definition, but are relatively heavy, and are not suitable for children; The anti blue lens can effectively reduce the eye irritation caused by blue light, and is suitable for children who use electronic products for a long time.
Frame style selection: comfortable, durable and personalized
The frame selection of children's glasses is also very important. It should be comfortable, durable and personalized. Comfort means that the frame should be light, suitable for face shape, and not oppress the nose and ears; Durability means that the frame should be made of high-quality materials, which can withstand the beating and use of children; Personalization means that the frame should conform to the children's preferences and personality, so as to increase the initiative of wearing glasses.
Common frame materials include metal, plastic and elastic materials. The metal frame is light and strong, but it is difficult to recover after serious deformation; The plastic frame is light, but easy to deform; The elastic material frame can adapt to the change of children's face shape, and has good comfort and durability.
Brand selection: reputation, service, warranty
Finally, brand reputation, service and warranty policies should also be considered when selecting children's glasses. Reputable brands usually have better product quality and service guarantee, and can provide better after-sales service and product warranty. Choosing a well-known brand can reduce some worries and ensure the comfort and safety of children when wearing glasses.
To sum up, the selection of appropriate children's glasses requires comprehensive consideration of such factors as glasses type, lens material, frame style and brand. Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, as a professional children's eye hospital, will recommend suitable glasses for children according to their specific conditions, so as to ensure that children can obtain the best vision correction effect.
