Why do children need safety glasses?
Children love to explore and want to do the same things as their parents. Children copy their parents and want to try and perform the same tasks. Many of these tasks are a safety risk to our eyes and those around us.
Situations that children should be wearing eye protection include:
Helping parents sawing timber, building tasks, gardening (including ride on mowers), pruning and spraying. We do not recommend children assist with welding as there are no welding safety glasses available for children.
Any time children are out in the sunlight they should be wearing sunglasses, to protect their eyes against ultra-violet (UV) light damage. Research has shown that UV light contributes to the development of cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma.
Within schools performing science experiments and workshop type activities. Some kindergartens use hot glue guns and small nails and hammers that could go array.
Do safety glasses have to be uncomfortable?
No, with the correct sizing and quality manufacturing safety glasses can be comfortable and stylish. At Children’s safety glasses we are continually expanding our range to cover more ages and sizes, along with activities such as sports.
