A good pair of children's sunglasses will block 100% of harmful UV-A and UV-B rays, providing essential protection. That's why it's important for your child to start wearing sunglasses early - for a lifetime of healthy vision.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about sunglasses for babies and children
-
Why do babies and children need sunglasses?
Sunglasses protect the delicate eyes of babies and children from harmful UV rays that can cause long-term damage. They also reduce glare, making them safer to play with and travel with.
This is especially important in mountainous regions such as the Hohe Tauern or Kitzbühel Alps, where UV radiation is significantly higher. In these areas, children's sunglasses are essential to protect young eyes.
-
At what age should my child start wearing sunglasses?
Ideally, children should start wearing sunglasses from an early age.
This is particularly important in mountainous areas such as Mittersill, where sunlight is more intense all year round due to reflection from snow in both summer and winter. Protecting your child's sensitive eyes in these conditions is essential to prevent long-term damage from UV exposure.
-
How much UV protection should children's sunglasses offer?
A good pair of children's sunglasses should provide 100% protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
This level of protection is essential to shield young eyes from harmful radiation - especially at higher altitudes such as the Kitzbühel Alps and Hohe Tauern, where UV radiation increases by up to 15% for every 1,000 metres of altitude.
-
Are sunglasses with polarised lenses suitable for children?
Yes, polarised lenses reduce glare from reflected light, making them particularly useful near water or in snowy conditions.
A pair of sunglasses with polarised lenses is the best way to protect your child's eyes during a winter holiday in the Kitzbühel Alps or outdoor activities around Mittersill. These lenses help to minimise harsh reflections from snow and ice, providing better vision and comfort in bright conditions.
-
What should I look for when choosing sunglasses for my child?
When choosing sunglasses for your child, make sure they offer
- Full UV protection to protect sensitive eyes from harmful rays.
- Shatterproof lenses for maximum safety during play and outdoor activities.
- Comfortable fit to ensure the sunglasses stay in place and are comfortable to wear.
- Skin-friendly materials to prevent irritation to sensitive skin.
- Child-friendly design so your child will love wearing them.
At our store in Mittersill you'll find a wide range of models that have been specially designed for the mountain environment, ensuring optimum protection and comfort for your little ones.
-
How do I get my child used to wearing sunglasses?
Make wearing sunglasses a positive experience. Choose a style that your child likes and that fits comfortably.
In a region like Mittersill, where the sun is particularly intense due to the mountainous location, it's important that children see wearing sunglasses as a natural part of their outdoor routine. They'll be more likely to wear them regularly and ensure their eyes are well protected from harmful UV rays.
-
What should I do if my sunglasses don't fit properly?
If your sunglasses don't fit perfectly, please visit us at Optik Maurer in Mittersill. We'll adjust your sunglasses so that they fit securely and comfortably.
A good fit is especially important for children who are active in the mountains. Sunglasses that don't fit well can easily slip during play and outdoor activities. A quick visit to our store is all it takes to get your sunglasses back in perfect shape.
-
How often should I replace my child's sunglasses?
Since children grow quickly, their sunglasses should be checked regularly to ensure a proper fit.
In active regions such as the Hohe Tauern or Kitzbühel Alps, where children spend a lot of time outdoors, a well-fitting pair of sunglasses is essential for effective UV protection. Visit us at Optik Maurer in Mittersill for a free sunglasses check to make sure your child's eyewear still fits perfectly.
