Let’s take a look at 5 fantastic kids’ eyewear options to make school days even brighter!
1. Olos Big John
The Big John from our exclusive Olos children’s eyeglasses collection is a stylish frame sized to fit kids ages 11 to 14. It’s made from acetate, which is lightweight without feeling flimsy, and features spring hinges and sculpted nose pads. The timeless style is perfect for those who don’t want a too bold of a look, with subtle detailing. The prescription lenses can be customized further, including blue light blocking and photochromic (like Transitions) lenses.
2. Ray-Ban RY1536
One of Ray-Ban’s most popular prescription glasses for kids, the RY1536 is perfect for late elementary or junior high kids. Like the Big John, it combines the functionality of acetate build and spring hinges with a timeless style plus the bonus of a bit more colorfulness. Like every other pair on this list and kids’ frame on our site, the prescription lenses are customizable – from blue light blocking to anti-scratch coating and UV protection.
3. Olos Dora
One of our most popular frames for girls, the Dora is available for both preschoolers (who need great prescription glasses too!) and kids ages 6 through 10. The Dora stands out with its glittery accents and starry decorations, adding a bit of flash to your daughter’s day at school, all while providing comfortable fit and high-quality Rx lenses.
4. Oakley OY8013 Full Count
The Oakley Full Count is an excellent choice for kids heading to school. This stylish, versatile frame is made from lightweight O-Matter, offering durability and comfort for all-day wear. With adjustable temples and molded nose pads, it provides a secure, customized fit—ideal for active kids who need their glasses to stay put through class and recess. Plus, you can add any kind of prescription to this frame, making it a reliable option for all your child’s vision needs.
Olos Fletcher
The Fletcher from our exclusive Olos collection is a fantastic choice for kids heading to school who appreciate a mature, smart look. This popular style is crafted with high-grade acetate, wire-core temples, and flex hinges, making it both durable and comfortable—ideal for busy school days. Plus, our premium Rx lenses can accommodate higher prescriptions and offer customizable options like blue light blocking, perfect for screen time, and polycarbonate lenses for added impact resistance.
