Some vision problems require early detection. There are several key signals parents should watch for. Protecting your child's eyes now could be extremely important to his or her future.

The most important considerations in selecting eyewear for your child are frame fit and safety. Here are some guidelines on what to look for.

• The temple (or eyeglass "arm") that is long enough to fit around the ear

• A nose bridge that does not allow the glasses to slide down the nose

• Plenty of room around the lenses to allow air to flow around the eyes

• Spring hinges for enhanced durability

• Impact-resistant lenses for kids on-the-go

It's a fun way to select eyewear specifically designed for kids, including Ray Ban Jr., Polo Prep, Essentials, Converse and Luxottica Memorize.
