Our priority at Vista Eye Care has always been long term care for our patient’s eyes. Our eye doctors talk not only about the eye’s current health status, but what can be done to help ensure a lifetime of healthy eyes and great vision. Ultraviolet light protection should be a priority for all of our patients. Here in Thornton, Colorado, we live at altitude which gives us a higher UV index. While many adults wear their sunglasses outdoors, we see lots of younger children that don’t have them. Parents tend to cite three main reasons why their kids don’t wear eye protection.
Kids tend to lose their sunglasses, break their sunglasses, or may not want to even wear them. We finally came across a great brand of sunglasses for kids called “Babiators” that offer solutions to these three common complaints! The Babiator company will replace your lost sunglasses for only the cost of shipping for up to a year if your child loses them. While some sunglasses can be pretty shoddy and just begging to self-destruct in your kids’ hands, Babiators are solid, sturdy, and built to survive being used regularly by your kids. Maybe best of all, we’ve seen an overwhelmingly positive response from kids wanting to wear these sunglasses. Babiators fit comfortably, block out all the harmful sunlight, and fit snugly to the point of not even being noticed when they are worn. Kids love wearing Babiators and parents love knowing that they are doing what they can to prevent macular degeneration and cataracts.
Babiators are available in non-prescription sunglasses and prescription models as well. Please stop by our office any time to browse our collection of Babiators, or schedule your child’s annual comprehensive eye and vision examination today!
