Product Q&A: Eyewear Needs for Kids and Teens

The Kilter June 2016 Collection is designed to help define your youngest patients’ individual style while delivering durable, quality materials that fit their unique needs. Deborah Lochli, Product Development Director for Altair® provides insight on Kilter below.

Q: What are the most important factors that eye doctors need to know about fitting this patient population?

A: Fit is so important for kids and teens because if the glasses don’t stay in place, the benefits of vision correction won’t be achieved. Ensuring the eye sits in the center of the frame and lens, the bridge is comfortable and the temples are the correct length are all key to a proper fit.

Q: How does the Kilter June 2016 Collection address the specific needs of kids and teens?

A: The Kilter Collection features designs in eye sizes 46-50, covering the common range for kids and teens. The deliberate use of bright colors and patterns in this collection is all about giving patients the options to define their individual style and express creativity.

Q: Where can eye doctors provide additional knowledge for parents and increase consistent patient visits for kids and teens?

A: It is important to remind kids and teens, as well as their parents, how to take care of their glasses. Reinforce that repeat visits to have frames periodically fitted will optimize the full benefits of seeing clearly.
