Many people underestimate the importance of a case for your child’s eyeglasses, but the type you select can affect how long your little one’s spectacles remain protected and in good condition.
There are three types of cases:
1. Hard Eyeglass Case
This case is made with a firm, hard shell and tends to be a little on the larger side. They often have a hinge and open up like a clam shell. Most eye doctors recommend this case for children.
2. Semi-Hard Eyeglass Case
These cases closely resemble hard cases but have several advantages over the former, including the fact that they:
Are made from a more flexible exterior material, but with a firm interior to protect the eyeglasses
Have a zip opening, which is more convenient and easy to use
Are less bulky
3. Soft Eyeglass Case
A soft eyeglass case has a less firm exterior compared to the hard and semi-hard cases and is usually made from a very pliable material. It is a great choice if you are planning on storing your glasses on a desk, nightstand, pocket or glove compartment.
Some of their advantages include:
They protect your lenses from getting scratched
Most are made from a microfiber material that can be used to clean your eyeglasses as well
They are the least bulky type of case and easy to carry around
If your child’s eyeglass frame is made from thick metal or plastic, then a soft case may be a suitable option. However, they are NOT suitable for holding glasses in a backpack or suitcase.
3 Tips For Choosing The Right Eyeglasses Case
Choosing an eyeglass case is not always straight-forward and it’s important to work together with your children’s eye doctor to select the right eyewear accessories for your child. When doing so, here are some things you may want to consider:
1. Try It On For Size
Make sure that you try any potential eyeglass case to ensure that they are the right size for your spectacles. This is important because:
If the case is too big, the eyeglasses will be jostled around too much during transport and may be damaged.
If the case is too small, it could place pressure on the frames when closed, which can cause unwanted bending.
2. Make Sure It’s Soft Inside
Even though most children’s eye doctors recommend a harder case for better protection, you should make sure that it still has a soft lining inside. Otherwise, the eyeglasses might not be properly cushioned if you drop the case.
3. Let Your Child Have A Say In The Decision
Your little one must like the case you choose, otherwise they might not use it as often and this will put the eyeglasses at risk of getting damaged.
