Kids Frames

We at Thomas Turtle Opticians pride ourselves on providing one of the areas largest up-to-date children's frame selections. They are available in a large variety of styles and some really cool colors too. Some even come with their own clip-on sunglasses and hard shell cases. We can provide most children with a thorough eye examination, and take the time to guide you and your child to the frame and lens products just right for them.

Thomas Turtle Opticians highly recommend all eyeglass lenses for children be made of polycarbonate, which is the safest lens material on the market today. These lenses are 10 times safer than plastic lenses, and offer the best protection for children's eye health and safety.

If your child is in need of contact lenses, let our licensed contact lens specialists provide you and your child with the proper advice on lens selection, as well as important follow-up care.

When choosing a child's frame, consider the following:


1. Quality - Nothing affects durability like the quality of a frame. Frame materials must be strong enough to withstand the often-rough behavior of a child. There should be no sharp edges or points.


2. The Look - Frames will not be worn if the child doesn't like how they look.


3. Proper Fit - Proper bridge support and a suitable shaped frame are important to maintain the correction prescribed. The bridge, which should rest along the sides of a child's nose, supports 90% of the weight, and can make all the difference in a frame's comfort.


4. Frame Strength - Frames must be strong and durable, especially in the bridge and temples.


5. Spring Hinges - These ensure a snug, comfortable, and long lasting fit.


6. Sizing Options - A frame style that offers several eye sizes and temple lengths assures the most comfortable and secure fit.
