Infant Sunglasses

Sunglasses provide important protection for infants as their eyes are more susceptible to UV damage than adults. It's especially important for children to wear sunglasses if they have light-colored eyes, said Vy Mai, O.D., optometrist at Pediatrix® Eye Care in Seattle, Washington, because lighter eyes are more susceptible to UV damage. When shopping for sunglasses, consider comfort. According to Dr. Mai, a strap can be helpful, especially for particularly active toddlers, but caution should be used as a band or a cord could also pose a choking risk for infants and toddlers.
