11. Back-to-School with
the Right Eyewear
F
OR STuDENTS OF ALL AGES, A NEW SCHOOL YEAR BRINGS FRESH
challenges. The perfect eyewear can give anyone a smart, new Back-to-School
look for September. With the wide selection of optical frames available from
companies such as Marchon Eyewear, finding a comfortable fit in the latest styles is
elementary. Parents who are feeling a bit overwhelmed just need to narrow it down to a
child’s age, facial features, personal style and activities.
Generally, square frames are flattering on round faces, and round frames complement
square faces, although tots between the ages of two and five look best in round
or oval frames. While a low-set bridge will downplay a long nose, a high-set bridge
deemphasizes a short nose. The top of the frame should follow the brow, but without
obstructing facial expressions, and the width of the frames should be equal to the width
of the head. The combination of a bridge in a subtle color and temples in a conspicuous
color works well with close-set eyes.
Marchon® X-Games Frames in soft colors are appropriate for children age four and under. However, as
children grow older, they may develop strong preferences, with bolder colors – such
as the sporty options offered in Marchon® X-Games eyewear – earning high marks.
When it comes to personal style, teens (and even tweens) view eyewear as the fashion
accessory that can help them express their individuality. Remember that your child will
wear his or her favorite more willingly than yours.
Construction and design are also important considerations in choosing frames. Cable
temples, which wrap around the ear, are a great feature for very young or very active
children and for those who spend a lot of time at the computer. Spring hinges expand
over time, as needed, and also resist bending when glasses are removed improperly
with one hand. Other kid-friendly options are easily adjusted gooseneck nose-pad arms
and comfortable PVC nose pads.
Parents in the know like Flexon Kids® frames, which incorporate space-age technology
to ensure a superior fit. The proprietary manufacturing process uses a titanium-based
alloy that is corrosion-resistant, fatigue-resistant and 25 percent lighter than conventional
metals. The patented Flexon® material has 20 / 20 memory, so the frames return to their

original shape if twisted or bent. In other words, they’re practically childproof! Because
of their extreme springiness and durability, Flexon® frames are worn by bicyclists, skiers,
firefighters and just about anyone with an active lifestyle.
