and amazing colour choices. And nothing spells
durability like Flexon – America’s number one titanium
memory metal. Great for kids as these frames return to
their original shape even after bending,” he said.
Allison Perry of Ogi Eyewear said the best kids' frame
bridge the gap between playful and practical. Ogi Kids
has more than six dozen fun and fashionable frames for
children to choose from. Many of the frames are in
vibrant colours that kids like, including bright pinks,
cool blues, eye-catching greens and striking purples.
“Glasses are becoming more and more of a fashion
statement. Kids need to be encouraged to treat them as
another way they can express themselves,” she said.
Ogi Kids also has a “Mommy & Me, Daddy & I” collection, which co-ordinates adults and child-sized frames.
“The collection reflects the growing demand for kids
eyewear that is refined and sophisticated. Each style is
available in a variety of bright colours carefully picked
to exemplify the playful nature of the collection,” the
company says.
Perry said kids' frames should be built tough enough
to endure the active, unpredictable lives of children.
“Solid construction is an important thing to look for.
Kids can be somewhat destructive so finding a frame
made with high-quality materials is a must,” she said.
Safilo, which has introduced a new Kids by Safilo for
children eight years of age and under, says it has also
developed a collection that helps young kids adjust
to and love wearing glasses.
The eyewear is inspired by kids and designed to meet
their needs. The frames are light, durable and comfortable and come in colours and with decorations – like a
cat, car or bear – that appeal to children.
The front pieces are always translucent and become
almost invisible in styles for very young children so
that the glasses have a discreet presence on their face.
The collection includes six styles of frames, with four
colours – reds, blues, pinks and purples – in each style.
As the ideal blend of innovation and comfort, the
new eyewear collection perfectly matches children’s
requirements and, at the same time, their parents’
expectations.
