At Gates Eyewear, we know how much kids love spending time outdoors—whether they’re playing sports, exploring, or just soaking up the sunshine. But while outdoor adventures are great for growing minds and bodies, they can be tough on young eyes. Just like their skin, children’s eyes need protection from UV rays, wind, and glare.
That’s where prescription sunglasses for kids come in — offering clear, comfortable vision and essential protection, so they can see the world safely and confidently.
1. UV Protection for Growing Eyes
Children’s eyes absorb more UV light than adults’, increasing their risk of long-term damage. Sunglasses with 100% UV protection act like sunscreen for their eyes, helping to safeguard their vision and eye health for the future.
2. Clear Vision for Play and Learning
If your child wears prescription glasses, switching to prescription sunglasses ensures they can see clearly outdoors too. Perfect for playgrounds, sports, and sunny adventures — clear vision means more fun, with less squinting and strain.
3. Less Glare, More Confidence
Bright light reflecting off water, sand, or playground surfaces can make it hard for kids to focus. Polarised prescription sunglasses reduce glare, allowing young eyes to stay relaxed and focused on playtime — not the sunlight.
4. Protection from Wind and Dust
From bike rides to breezy days at the park, sunglasses shield children’s eyes from dust, wind, and other irritants that can cause discomfort or distraction.
5. Durable, Comfortable, and Cool
Kids need eyewear that can keep up with their active lifestyles. Our range of kids’ prescription sunglasses is designed to be lightweight, durable, and stylish — so they’ll actually want to wear them every day.
