Sun Safety & Eye Protection
Why protecting kids’ eyes matters — and how Frankie Ray helps.
Little eyes are more vulnerable
Children’s eyes are still developing, making them more sensitive to UV exposure than adults. Eye damage from the sun is cumulative, meaning the effects build over time — starting from a very young age.
Protecting kids’ eyes early helps establish healthy habits that last a lifetim
Designed for Australian sunshine
Australia has one of the highest levels of UV radiation in the world. That’s why Frankie Ray sunglasses are designed specifically for our climate and comply with world-leading Australian and New Zealand eye protection standards (AS/NZS 1067.1).
This ensures kids’ eyes are protected during everyday outdoor play — from the backyard to the beach.
What makes Frankie Ray sunglasses protective
All Frankie Ray sunglasses feature:
✓ 100% UVA & UVB protection
✓ Impact-resistant safety lenses
✓ Lenses designed to reduce glare and eye strain
✓ Frames built for comfort and durability during active play
Our lenses are carefully selected to balance clarity, protection and comfort — making them suitable for children in high-UV environments.
Do kids need polarised lenses?
Polarised lenses can be beneficial in specific environments, such as on water or snow, where glare is intensified. However, for everyday outdoor play, high-quality lenses that provide full UV protection and impact resistance are most important.
Frankie Ray lenses are designed with children’s everyday needs in mind — prioritising protection, comfort and durability in real-world conditions.
Protection only works if they wear them
A comfortable fit is essential. That’s why Frankie Ray offers:
✓ Flexible materials for younger age groups
✓ Lightweight frames for all-day wear
✓ Styles suited to different face shapes and ages
When sunglasses feel good, kids are far more likely to keep them on.
Built for play (and peace of mind)
Kids are active — and we design with that in mind. Frankie Ray sunglasses are made to withstand everyday adventures, and we offer a 6-month warranty to give parents extra peace of mind.
