Kids need eye exams too!

The American Optometric Association and National Institutes of Health recommend that pre-school and school age children get their eyes checked every year as they grow and develop!

Just for Kids!

From Arthur to Harry Potter to Clark Kent, when it comes to wearing glasses, kids are in good company. There are lots of cool brands of eyeglasses for kids of all ages at SJEA: SpongeBob SquarePants, Harry Potter, Fisher Price, Barbie, Marvel Comics, Bratz, Converse, and many more! You can also get just about any style or brand of adult frame—but made just for kids!

Fun in the Sun!

Sunglasses are not only a great way to look cool—they also protect your child's eyes from the sun’s harmful rays while they’re outside. Protection from the sun’s UV light is even more important for kids than it is for adults!

See Your Best, Play Your Best!

Has your child got all their equipment for their favorite sports? What about for their eyes? Sports eyewear can not only make your child look cool and help protect their eyes—it can even make them play better! Many pro-athletes count on their sports eyewear to upgrade their game!

Hey, parents! Did you know…

On January 11, 2006, the New Jersey State Senate and General Assembly enacted a bill requiring “any child who wears corrective eyeglasses while participating in racquetball, squash, tennis, women’s lacrosse, basketball, women’s field hockey, badminton, paddleball, soccer, volleyball, baseball or softball, sponsored by a school, community or government agency... to wear protective eyewear that meets the frames standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials and lens standards of the American National Standards Institute.”

The New Jersey council on Physical Fitness and Sports is authorized to provide grants to assist low-income families in purchasing the protective eyewear.
