    General FAQs

    Polarised lenses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water and sand. They can improve visual comfort, particularly at the beach or on bright days.

    However, full UV400 protection is the most important feature - and all Babiators provide this as standard.

    Opt for original lenses for day-to-day use unless you spend a lot of time around water where you made want to eliminate the risk of glare.

    • Look for high UV protection which will protect your kids' eyes.
    • If you love the water or snowy climates choose polarised lenses.
    • Opt for a quality lens you know will last from a brand you can trust, that’s us by the way!
    • Choose glasses that block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays (like Babiators do!)
    • Make sure they cover a good proportion of your child’s eyes to offer full protection.
    • Buy durable shades, they will need to last!
    • Give your child the choice, they are the ones that are going to wear them.

    Babiators are Rx-able for certain prescriptions (-4 to +4). It's at the discretion of the optician. The lenses are removable/replaceable.

    All Babiators frames are made of a soft and flexible therma plastic rubber which makes them super comfortable and virtually indestructible. Our lenses in our original and screensavers styles are made from impact and shatter resistant polycarbonate, whilst our polarised lenses are made from TAC (Tri Acetate Cellulose).

    Babiators should:

    1. Sit comfortably on the bridge of the nose
    2. Cover the eyes fully
    3. Stay secure without pinching

    If you’re between sizes, refer to the age guidance as a starting point, but consider your child’s face shape for the best fit.

    You can use our size guide to measure up your kids for their sunnies here or find specific measurements on each product page.
