Children Eyeglasses

Children need UV protection on their lenses. Children absorb the most UV rays coming from the sun from birth until 18 years of age. UV protection applied by Hardwick Vision Center in Rockingham NC will also lower risk of adult problems like cataracts. Anti-Reflective Coating helps reduce glare while at home or at school working on homework on the computer. Scratch Resistance Coating make the lenses harder to scratch if the glasses are being taken care of properly. A second pair of glasses is always good for children to have. They can be very rough on glasses if they play sports or are new to wearing glasses. Having a second pair of glasses would prevent your child from not having glasses to wear if their glasses broke. Sunglasses are good to have if your child is outside a lot. This will give them the full protection they need while playing outside. Transitions® are also good for children who spend a lot of time outside.

Frames for children
