Introduction
Picking the right pair of glasses for your child isn’t just about getting the prescription right. It’s also about ensuring comfort, durability, and style so your child feels confident and happy wearing them.
At SpecSMART Eye Clinic Ikoyi, we make it easy for parents and children to find the perfect pair with guidance from experienced optometrists and opticians.
Why the Right Fit Matters for Kids
Children are active, and their glasses need to keep up with them.
It’s important to educate kids about why they need glasses, and to let them choose the frames they love—this builds excitement and confidence.
Poorly fitted frames can slip, break easily, or cause discomfort, which may lead to your child avoiding them altogether.
That’s why we recommend accurate sizing, lightweight materials, flexible hinges, for young wearers.
Frames That Match Their Personality
Kids and teens are more likely to wear glasses they actually like. We carry youth-specific designs that are stylish, colourful, and fun—without compromising on comfort or lens quality.
At SpecSMART Eye Clinic Ikoyi, your child can try on dozens of options to see what feels good and looks great.
Prescription Accuracy and Eye Health
After the perfect frame is selected, we ensure prescription accuracy and lens comfort.
Our dual-room setup provides a seamless experience—pre-testing with followed by a detailed exam with a senior optometrist.
We explain results clearly to both parent and child.
We also diagnose and manage pediatric eye concerns like amblyopia, myopia, and screen-related eye strain.

Rubberized hinges
