As an 8-year old with glasses who loved to figure skate, I quickly learned about the concept of centripetal force, after a spin sent my specs flying from my face and smashing into the ice. Breaking my glasses was a constant worry hovering over my—and my mom's—head. But now, all these years later, LensDirect is solving parents' and kids' "broken glasses worries" with their new Lolos children's eyewear line.

The new designs are created to accommodate kids' active lifestyles—and the fact that they're not the most...careful. Three features ensure that their glasses are moving with them instead of hindering the fun.
- ActiveGrip: Silicone temple tips and nose pads help prevent slipping. (I don't know about you, but I've been pushing my glasses up my nose bridge for so long, it's reflexive even when I'm wearing contacts.)
- FlexFit: Adjustable temple tips offer a customized fit.
- OopsTech: Face plants? Spills? Glasses flying off? Lolos frames have 180-degree bendable hinges that reduce likelihood of breakage.

The other great thing about Lolos is the price. Complete pairs start at $69 and come with a one-year kid-proof warranty. That means if the glasses break, you can get a replacement pair within the first year (so you can stop worrying about the dangers of a flying dodgeball or someone kneeling on their frames while diving for the TV remote).
