are sunglasses safe for children to wear   

It is a good idea to make the child wear sunglasses as they will help protect your child’s sensitive eyes from the sun’s intense UV rays. You can introduce sunglasses to your baby as early as 6 months. But don’t pick up a cheap pair that you may find in a novelty store or on the streets. Always buy sunglasses from a licensed optician as your child needs to wear a sun-glass that meets the proper safety level with lenses that provide proper UV protection. Babies under 6 months of age should be kept out of direct sunlight. You can use brimmed hats, dress baby in lightweight clothing that covers the arms and legs or use umbrellas to protect them.
