The measures of the glasses for children
When choosing glasses for children, it is essential to focus on comfort and lightness.
Compared to adults, boys and girls have a face with some specific characteristics and eyewear must respect this specificity of theirs.
For example, the root of the nose usually lies lower than in adults, and it is necessary that the glasses follow the facial conformation of children.
Also with regard to the size of the glasses, you need to make sure that it covers the eye well and that the lens is also useful when the child looks down to read.
In general, let's remember that more than design we need to be careful about comfort, so long as for the child it is much more important to see well and not have difficulties rather than "make a good impression". In general this principle should also apply to adults but we know that it is often difficult to resist vanity.
