Parenting Tip- Eyelasses for Kids

I asked this question to a licensed an optometrist.
Question- What kind of lens is best for children under 16 yrs and why?

Answer- Polycarbonate is always recommended for all types of children's frames under the age of 16 because kids tend to be rough at play even when they are not taking part in an organized sport. It is a high impact material that provides safety and protection for the children.

Polycarbonate lenses are thinner and lighter than traditional plastic eyeglass lenses. They also offer 100 percent ultra-violet (UV) protection and are up to 10 times more impact-resistant than regular plastic lenses.
