Are Your Children’s Lenses Right for Their Needs?

Learning to read, write, see the future, wonder: from the age of 6, children’s eyes play a key role in their healthy development, and the glasses they wear should adapt to their ever-changing needs. But standard lenses, designed for adults, do not meet children’s specific needs. That’s why Essilor has created Eyezen+ Kids lenses, an all-in-one solution adapted to their morphology, visual behaviour and daily activities, to provide children ages 6 to 12 with comfortable and protected vision throughout the day.

The World at Children’s Level

Driven by their insatiable curiosity, children take in their environment with countless eye movements¹. Due to their small size, children will make more visual scans from bottom to top, thus using a larger surface area of their lenses. Unlike standard models, Eyezen® DualOptim Kids technology provides optimal vision over a larger lens surface area (60%), ensuring clear, sharp vision in all directions².

The Right Focus

From chalkboards to books to the increasing number of screens; most educational material in schools is presented visually. And because children’s arms are shorter, they see objects from a closer distance and require good close-up vision. Clear and durable, Eyezen+ Kids lenses provide children with effortless vision for all their daily activities, especially those involving close-up vision.

Professional Follow-Up

Children seldom realize they have vision problems and often do not know how to protect their eyes everyday. It is therefore recommended that they have a yearly eye examination from the age of 6 to ensure that their vision care is optimal. Ask your local OPTOPLUS eyecare clinic optometrist to find out if Eyezen + Kids lenses are right for your child.
