Children's Sports Eyewear

Standard glasses aren't built for the knocks, falls and fast movement of children's sport, which is why we offer a dedicated range of children's sports glasses in London, fitted and dispensed specifically for young, active patients.

Our children's prescription sports glasses are built around impact-resistant frames and lenses, designed to stay secure and comfortable during football, rugby, swimming, cycling and other activities. Where needed, we also fit prescription goggles and wraparound frames for skiing, water sports and contact sports.

Every pair of our kids' prescription sports glasses is made to the same standard as an adult prescription — accurately fitted, correctly centred and checked for comfort under movement, not just at rest.

We stock a small, carefully selected range of kids' sports glasses in London, chosen for durability and fit rather than volume. Frames are available in sizes and shapes suited to different ages, from early primary school through to teenage patients.

If an up-to-date prescription is required, we can carry out a full paediatric eye examination. This covers:

- vision and prescription assessment, appropriate to the child's age

- checks for common childhood eye conditions, including myopia, squints and lazy eye

- general eye health screening

Examinations are thorough and adapted to the child, with plenty of time given to put younger patients at ease.

Fitting glasses for children is a different discipline from fitting adults. Our expert dispensing opticians measure and adjust frames specifically for children's facial proportions and take account of how a frame will perform once a child is playing sport rather than sitting still.

For prescription sports eyewear for children, this includes checking the fit of head straps, padding and frame flex and making sure the finished pair sits securely through a full range of movement.
