funK shades kids polarized sunglasses
We have been spending a lot of time outside this summer. I instinctively reach for my sunglasses because without them I would constantly be squinting and wiping my watery eyes. A few years back it dawned on me that the sun was causing as much damage to my kid’s eyes as mine and the hunt for a pair they would keep on started.
This year when funK shades offered to send a paid for both Emma and Ethan, I had to say yes!
Why?
Not only are these glasses quality items… offering 100% UVA and UVB protection, polarized lenses, and come with high quality (we got the bendable) frames… they come with snappable, interchangeable, and collectable charms that makes them cool and fun to wear!
Did you know that:
-
The human eye is ten times more sensitive to harmful UV rays than your skin.
-
The lens of a child allows 70% more UV rays to reach the delicate retina than in an adult.
-
Approximately half of the entire time we spend outdoors in our lifetime occurs in the first 20 years of our life.
-
According to a recent Vision Care Council study, only 58 percent make their children wear sunglasses.
So why aren’t sunglasses a necessity like using sunscreen? Children’s eyes need all the protection they can get!
Ethan was the hardest of the two to convince he needed to be wearing sunglasses even in the car. Emma loves fashion (and imitating me) so the minute she notices me reaching for my glasses she puts hers on. I think Ethan really enjoyed having the fun interchangeable charms on his glasses because he kept taking them off to look at them (still working on that).
We received the bendable frame glasses which hold up well to Ethan tugging them off his face. The polarized lenses give a crisp and colorful perspective unlike cheap sunglasses that just make everything dark. The charms are easy for the children to change out on their own because they attach with a snap. The receiving end is on the frame and the charm gets pushed into it just like on a pair of pants. Fashion meets funKtion!
Overall the glasses are definitely worth the money. For a price point of $24.99 to $29.99 each you are getting a quality frame, polarized lenses and 4 base charms. For $3.99 each you can order additional charms (funk-its) to accessorized and customized their funK shades to fit their mood. I see these lasting for several years!

LOVE the charms!!!! Who knew that sunglasses could have charms (like Crocs).
I love their slogan! “Where Fun meets FunKtion” is not just our slogan, it is the central concept of our product. Getting kids excited about wearing their sunglasses requires something more than telling them the importance of protecting their eyes. We make it fun!
