As back to school approaches, there are lots of details to consider. A fun new backpack, a colourful case and the books needed for good learning are some of the materials our children need to be ready to face the new school year.

However, there's another detail to think about... visual health. This is the ideal time to see if your glasses are still up to date and make sense for your age and routine.

Back to school: Visual examination

The first step when considering glasses for children is to book an eye examination. It's important to realise the grade and type of lenses that are suitable. Scratch-resistant lenses with anti-reflective treatment can be particularly useful for active children. Lenses with blue light protection can also be a sensible choice to help minimise eye fatigue for those who use electronic devices a lot. A professional will ensure that the glasses meet all your child's visual needs.

Back to school: Durability, safety and comfort

Children are active and often involved in physical activities and lively play. Therefore, the durability and safety of glasses are essential aspects to consider. Frames made from resistant materials, such as acetate or titanium, that can withstand daily wear and tear are interesting choices. It is also important to ensure that the frames have rounded corners and no small parts that could be accidentally swallowed.

To ensure greater comfort, frames that fit the child's face well, with soft nose pads and adjustable temples are sensible choices. Children spend many hours at school and in extracurricular activities, so it's important that their glasses don't cause discomfort or irritation.

Back to school: Involving the child in the choice

Including children in the process of choosing glasses can make the experience more exciting and enjoyable. When children feel they have a say in the decision, they are more likely to feel comfortable and confident with the glasses they choose. In addition, giving preference to fun colours and patterns can be an incentive to wear glasses with enthusiasm. It's preferable for children to have fun in this process and to be able to choose colours and designs that they really like.

Back to school: Care education

It's important that children gradually begin to realise the importance of looking after their glasses. Simple actions such as cleaning the lenses properly and storing glasses in a box when not in use will help prolong the life of the glasses and keep their vision clear.
