Selection and manufacture of glasses

When choosing glasses, we take into account dioptres and facial proportions. This way we will select the right size, shape and colour of the frame for your child and recommend the appropriate lenses.
Glasses will be made within 5 – 14 days. 

Care and service

Children’s glasses often get worn out — that’s why we offer a free service for glasses purchased from us. Stop by for a revision, adjustment or ultrasonic cleaning and give your kids a flawless view. 

Eye exam

We will examine the eyesight of young people from the age of 15. Order online.
Children under 15 years of age are examined only by a doctor, glasses are made on the basis of a doctor’s prescription. 

Contact lens fitting

The application of lenses in young people from 15 years of age is without restrictions.
Children from 3 to 15 years of age are applied with contact lenses after approval by a doctor. Please document this recommendation with a medical report.

Screening for visual impairment

We provide visual impairment screening for children aged 6 months to 5 years using the Plusoptix device . You can make an appointment for your child online. In case of a positive finding, we will send the child to an ophthalmologist. 

Management of progressive myopia

Measuring the anteroposterior length of the eye is important in monitoring the progress of myopia in children. Please book an appointment for the measurement by phone. 

“A medical report from an ophthalmologist is necessary for the fitting of new spectacles and the initiation of contact lenses in children under 15 years of age.”

Selection procedure

How we select glasses for children and young people

Select a branch
01

Determining the necessary diopters

Vision tests for children under 15 years of age are only performed by a doctor. If you do not know your diopters, please come with a current prescription for glasses from your doctor to get new glasses. 

Vision examinations for young people aged 15 years and older are performed by an optometrist. You can make an appointment online.

02

Choosing a suitable frame

Together, we’ll find the right eyeglass frames for your child that he or she will love to wear. We’ll also recommend the most appropriate shape and size of glasses depending on the type of refractive error he or she is correcting. With us, you can choose both dioptric and sunglasses.

03

Choice of lenses

We select spectacle lenses taking into account the measured values and the needs of your children and teenagers. We pay attention to functionality and aesthetic appeal, because we know that the willingness to wear glasses at a young age is essential to the development of visual impairment. 

04

Purchase of corrective aids

We’ve prepared a number of benefits for your convenience, including an anti-breakage and anti-theft safety device. You can also take advantage of the Family Bonus Card, where your whole family’s points are added up. Your new glasses will be ready in 5 – 14 days.

Well-fitting glasses are essential

Proper correction of eye defects in childhood is very important for the development of vision, for achieving a good level of vision and thus for your child’s overall quality of life as an adult.

Childrenare not born with perfect vision. On the contrary, this ability develops and improves during childhood.

Appropriate glasses ensure proper development

Uncorrected visual impairment makes it difficult to:

  • concentration on school work
  • achieving a satisfying play experience
  • integration into the team
  • natural development of the child

With the right glasses, children see better and clearer and can enjoy everyday pleasures more.
