Kids blue light filtering glasses can be an important tool in their daily routine \u2013 especially as exposure to UV and blue light that\u2019s emitted by the sun and artificial light sources becomes an inevitable part of the way children learn, play, and explore.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue light filtering glasses for kids<\/a> can have long-term benefits for children\u2019s eyes and their overall health. Here, we explore the best kids\u2019 blue light glasses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why do my kids need blue light glasses?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"kids<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Children\u2019s eyes aren\u2019t as good at filtering out high-energy\u00a0visible\u00a0light\u00a0(also known as HEV light), which means they\u2019re more vulnerable to the effects of UV rays and blue-violet light emitted from the sun and artificial light sources.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time, extended exposure can cause\u00a0retinal cell damage<\/a>.\u00a0Some studies show that too much exposure to blue light* can increase the risk of retinal cell damage. *blue-violet light is between 400 and\u202f455nm as stated by ISO TR20772-2018.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(ISO: International Standards Organization – \u201cOphthalmic optics \u2013 Spectacles lenses \u2013 Short Wavelength visible solar radiation and the eye, FD ISO\/TR 20772\u201d) <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing blue light filtering glasses<\/a> helps filter out blue-violet light and UV and they are great for indoors and outdoors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to choose kid\u2019s blue light glasses  <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Healthy eyes begin with regular eye exams \u2013 children should get their eyes checked once a year to help identify vision issues.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, you can choose prescription lenses with blue light protection or add clear blue light lenses to kid\u2019s frames without a prescription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Choose durable frames<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need us to tell you that kids put their clothes, shoes, and toys to the test \u2013 so look for glasses that can rise to the challenge! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose frames made from a durable material (like acetate) in a lightweight fit for comfort and easy wear. All Clearly kid\u2019s frames<\/a> are designed to be especially durable.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Add blue light protection <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Choose blue light filtering lenses<\/a> that will protect children\u2019s eyes from UV and blue-violet light, such as our BlueReflectTM<\/sup> lenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Look for tough lenses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As well as durable frames, the lenses in your child\u2019s glasses should be able to keep up with their busy routine (and stay as clean as possible throughout the day). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children\u2019s glasses should be made with a durable lens, like our Durable Air lenses, with a protective coating<\/a> like C Shield, which offers anti-smudge and water-repellant qualities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
