Safilo Launches Glasses for Children
Recently, the Italian eyewear company Safilo launched their brand new line of glasses for children, Kids by Safilo. I was lucky enough to attend a special preview event for the line, and the glasses looked fantastic! For Safilo, it’s not just style that matters, though, but quality construction, comfort, and medical effectiveness. In attendance at the event were Dr. Andrea Thau, President-Elect of the American Optometric Association and Dr. Ken Nischal, Co-Founder of WSPOS who both extolled Safilo’s decision to extend their brand to also include children’s eyewear. Thau and Nischal also explained the importance of getting kids’ eyes checked early, stating that just as parents take their children to the pediatrician and dentist very early in their life, a visit to the eye doctor should also be made to detect any visual problems before permanent damage occurs.
