Some other companies that cater to both adult and children include:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that around 11 million people over 12 years require corrective lenses. Regular eye examinations can help correct vision and catch potential eye conditions before they become a problem later.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) notes that refractory problems in children are relatively common. These conditions can cause blurry vision and require corrective lenses. Some common issues include:

The AAO recommends that children receive regular eye exams and wear sunglasses and hats while outside to protect their vision. It also suggests that adults do the following activities with children to sharpen their vision skills:

  • puzzles that use hand-eye coordination
  • creating jewelery
  • painting and drawing
  • playing catch with a child-safe ball

Adults should discuss a child’s vision with their doctor if they believe they are experiencing any signs of refractive problems. These signs can include not seeing objects that are far away or close up or having blurry vision.

Pair Eyewear offers customizable frames for children and adults. People can choose between add-ons for both prescription and non-prescription lenses.

The company accepts HSAs and FSAs as forms of payment.

Refractive errors are relatively common in children. Adults should contact an eye doctor if they notice a child is experiencing any vision problems, such as finding it difficult to see objects far away or close up.
