Really High Quality Kids School Sunglasses For All Ages

School sunglasses by Idol Eyes Australia

We commenced our journey in the optical profession in 1950. So we now have 72 years of optical knowledge. We made Australia’s very first school sunglasses. But we also wanted these to be Australia’s very best school sunglasses. So in conjunction with both our certified mechanical engineer. And our optical engineer we have achieved this. Our school sunglasses are like no other. They are strong, light and comfortable. As well as offering the very best UV protection. While remaining safe even for colour blind students.

High Quality School Sunglasses

Unique shape

These are a truly *unique wrap shape. That makes them comfortable for all students without slipping down little noses. *(Normal sunglasses are made in two distinct styles. Those made to fit the European head shape or those made to fit the Asian head shape. Wear the incorrect style and the sunglasses just don’t fit correctly, either to tight or to loose. Our unique wrap shape is a fusion blend that fits more students more comfortably – guaranteed).

School sunglasses for primary and high

These are made in two sizes so they will fit all kids in both primary and high school. Please note: *Both sizes are in fact an identical shape. Therefore these are a true school uniform. *(Others use different shaped sunnies from whatever styles they can find in China. So they certainly are not a standard school uniform).

School sunglasses – IE532 – small – fits (3 to 8 yr). And IE525 – large – fits (7 to 18 yr). Available in green, blue, red, black or yellow.

Frame perfection, colours and coating

Specifically made in five standard matt colours, black, blue, red, green and yellow. This truly is a super matt surface coating on the frames. So it certainly does help to absorb harmful UV radiation. Consequently it is not reflected off the frame and into the eyes.

Only the very best lenses

Of course the high impact resistant polycarbonate lenses do provide 100% UV protection. That’s UVA, UVB and UVC and we only use A-grade G-15, category 3 lenses. So they do give maximum glare protection and are also safe for all students even those who are *colour blind.

*Note: 10% of boys and 2% of girls are colour blind and the incorrect coloured lens only compounds the problem. Unfortunately the two most commonly used lens colours in sunglasses. Are grey (that is never great for clarity and affects some colour blind kids). And brown (reasonable for clarity but useless for glare protection. And also adversely effects the largest number of colour blind kids). So what colour lenses are your school sunglasses? And are you harming your students?

Impact resistance lens test

This hammer test clearly shows the difference between our high A-grade lens. And the low quality B-grade lens or worse that other companies use. The problem is these low grade lenses don’t just break easily they also cause serious eye damage. You can read all the details in this blog. The Reliable Truth, Sunglasses what is best?

Easy identification plus a free case

There is a section on both the sunglasses and microfibre case. So parents can write their child’s name to prevent loss.

Please check out all the truly great features below. To see why these are Australia’s favourite school sunglasses.

Be SUNSMART

In Australia 1 in 7 adults over 50 years old have some form of  blindness*. Worse still 70% of adults over 65 are legally blind. And mainly from UV related eye diseases that are totally preventable. Just by wearing good quality sunglasses from birth. (*macular degeneration, cataracts, pterygium, actinic & droplet keratites, pinguecula, etc.).

Prevention is easy

All states and federal governments do suggest schools implement the wearing of sunglasses. Specifically to prevent this huge human and financial cost. We really do know this is totally preventable. Just by wearing both a broad-brimmed hat and good quality wrap-around sunglasses. Most importantly from an early age. You can find out more here on the NSW Government Education website.
