Kids' Glasses

• What are glasses for kids?

  Kids glasses are eyeglasses that are made just for kids. You can get them with or without a prescription. Among them are:

  
  

  Toddler glasses: for kids ages 1 to 3

  
  

  Preschool glasses: for kids ages 4 to 7

  
  

  Glasses for kids: 8 to 12 years old

  
  

  Most of the time, these glasses are made of strong, flexible materials, have lenses that won't break, and have fun, brightly colored frames that kids will like.

• Why do so many kids need glasses now?

  More time spent in front of a screen: Kids are staying inside and using screens more, which can cause eye strain and nearsightedness.

  
  

  Heredity: Children whose parents wear glasses are more likely to also need glasses.

  
  

  Medications: Some medicines can make it hard for kids to see.

  
  

  Early detection: Getting regular eye exams can help find vision problems sooner.

• How do I know if my child needs glasses?

  Watch for squinting, sitting very close to screens/TV, eye rubbing, headaches, or slipping grades. If a few show up, book an eye exam—and consider kids' prescription glasses. You can also check our guide for further insight.

• How much do glasses for kids cost?

  Most glasses for kids cost between $50 and $200. Prices change because:

  
  

  Prescription: Whether the glasses are really needed or not.

  
  

  What it has: Adding polarized glasses or filters that block blue light.

  
  

  Materials: Frames that last a long time (like acetate and steel).

  
  

  Brand: As a general rule, well-known names cost more.

  
  

  When: Deals may be available during sales events like Black Friday.

  
  

  Where to buy: Stores that aren't online tend to be more expensive than internet stores.

  
  

  Kids' health insurance options often cover the cost of glasses.

• What age do kids usually get glasses?

  Any age—from toddlers to school-age—if an exam shows a need. Many children get their first eyeglasses around 5–7, but toddler glasses are common for earlier vision issues.
