WHEN BUY 3 KITS
Kids and glasses: a duo that’s equal parts adorable and... chaotic. Whether it’s on the school playground, stuffed into a backpack, or just the day-to-day wear and tear, children’s glasses take a beating. So what happens when screws go missing or arms start to wobble? An eyeglass repair kit can save the day, especially one designed to handle the small sizes and frequent fixes that kids’ specs need. Here’s what every parent should know.
Why Kids' Glasses Break More Often
Children are naturally active, which means their glasses face:
-
Frequent drops
-
Rough handling
-
Backpack pressure
-
Playground accidents
Tiny screws and flexible arms mean these frames are built for lightness—not indestructibility.
Key Features to Look For in a Kids' Glasses Repair Kit
When shopping for a repair kit for your child’s eyewear, keep these essentials in mind:
-
Miniature Screws (M1.0-M1.2): Kids' frames use smaller components than adult frames.
-
Precision Screwdriver: A properly-sized, magnetized tool prevents stripping and frustration.
-
Tweezer or Gripper Tool: Perfect for handling tiny screws.
-
Multiple Screw Finishes: Match clear, pink, or colorful frames for better aesthetics.
-
Compact Size: Easy to keep in a school bag, car glove box, or suitcase.
SnapIt® repair kits check all these boxes.
Common Kid-Specs Problems (and How to Fix Them)
-
Loose Temples: Use a SnapIt® screwdriver to tighten the hinges.
-
Lost Screws: Replace with the correct-size SnapIt® screw—available in multiple finishes.
-
Wobbly Nose Pads: Tighten gently or replace with soft silicon pads.
-
Crooked Fit: Gently adjust the arms or bridge at home or with a quick optician visit.
SnapIt® kits include all the parts and tools to fix the arm back on, no optician trip needed.
US and UK Travel Tips for Kids' Glasses
Whether it’s summer camp or a school trip, broken glasses far from home can spell disaster.
-
UK Schoolbags: Keep a SnapIt® mini kit in your child’s backpack.
-
US Road Trips: Store one in your car’s glove box.
-
Flying Abroad? Airport security won’t blink at these TSA-compliant kits.
Safety First
While repairs are helpful, make sure they’re done safely:
-
Never let young kids handle small screws on their own.
-
Supervise any tool use closely.
-
Store kits out of reach of toddlers.
SnapIt® screws and tools are child-safe in design, but parental supervision is still essential.

Are the arms aligned?

Any visible stress on the frame?
