As adults, we tend to buy quality sunglasses to make sure we have optimum protection for our eyes, yet when it comes to our kids, we often don't place the same importance on their optical health. Children are actually more susceptible to damage from the sun's rays due to their eyes not being as developed as adult's. The main reasons for skimping on kid's sunglasses are that they'll break or get lost, with parents also worrying that cheap pairs won't offer adequate protection.
