Youngsters can achieve a trendy grown-up look in sunglasses or go for more whimsical styles, such as brightly colored, cat-eye shapes.
KIDS' SUNGLASSES:
People who are passionate about certain sports and recreational activities often begin to see a need for specialized eyewear, with added features that provide extra protection or vision correction beyond what is found in an ordinary pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses.
Eyewear for Sports Vision and Safety

Many ski goggles are sized so they can be worn over regular eyeglasses.
Shooting glasses for hunters: or rifle and handgun enthusiasts need to be extra tough and scratch-resistant, as well as specially tinted to enhance contrast and clarity of vision in the outdoors.Protective eyewear: in the form of sports goggles, made in many shapes and sizes, is essential for sports such as baseball, where a hard-hit line drive can permanently damage an unprotected eye.Sports eyewear:for teens and young athletes is especially important because a large percentage of sports-related eye injuries occur among teens and young children.Safety glasses and goggles: in some work environments, such as construction sites, are required by law. But even if safety glasses aren't mandated, it's still very prudent to wear them when you work or play in circumstances where your eyes are exposed to hazards such as dangerous airborne particles and debris.
