Eye Glasses : Sun Glasses for Kids

Many parents dont buy sun glasses for their children because its just another thing that can get broken or lost. However, the truth of the matter is that the suns ultraviolet rays can be extremely harmful to your childrens eyes so sun glasses are one of the most important investments you can make.

Sunglasses block out 100% of the suns harmful UV rays. If you dont protect your childs eyes, exposure to radiation from UV rays can cause a lot of eye problems later in live such as cataracts. Because children spend much more time outdoors in the sunlight than adults sun glasses are even more important for them than they are for you!

Sunglasses for kids come in a variety of different styles. Most children are into sun glasses that look similar to those of their parents and other adults they admire. Round and cat-eye glasses are popular for girls while boys prefer an oval, sporty, wraparound look. Kids sun glasses come in all sorts of colors and even in fun shapes like hearts and stars.

If your child wears eye glasses for vision then you should get them a pair of prescription sun glasses as well. This way they can protect their eyes when they play outside and will still be able to see. Prescription sun glasses are less expensive then regular prescription eye glasses and can be purchased from any glasses store. If you child doesnt wear prescription glasses then you can purchase their sunglasses from any sunglass store or boutique.

Temporary hearing deprivation can lead to 'lazy ear'
Scientists have gained new insight into why a relatively short-term hearing deprivation during childhood may lead to persistent hearing deficits, long after hearing is restored to normal.
