Starting at just $39.95, Blokz Trivex lenses are offered at a fraction of competitor pricing for standard Trivex lenses without sacrificing material quality or performance. The lightweight lens provides optimal visual quality and durability for children in need of corrective eyewear. With Zenni’s Blokz Trivex lenses, children not only benefit from glasses that are impact resistant, but also enjoy the Blokz blue light-blocking technology which helps protect young eyes from the harmful light from digital screens, artificial light and the sun.

“It’s important for parents to protect their children’s eyesight at any age,” said Bai Gan, Zenni’s Chief Product Officer. “Because Zenni promotes healthy eyesight for children, we have incorporated our Blokz blue light-blocking technology within Trivex lenses, the preferred lens material for children, that pass the optical industry’s highest standards for impact resistance. With this industry-first offering, parents can now provide the safety and protection children need for their developing eyes without compromising visual performance for play and schoolwork.”

A recent Digital Eye Strain Report from The Vision Council cited that more than 70% of American adults report their child(ren) receives more than two hours of screen time per day; and nearly 25% of parents are still not concerned about the impact of digital devices on their child(ren)’s developing eyes. Blokz Trivex lenses are made with a blue-light blocking polymer that is directly incorporated into the lens material to absorb blue light and combat the effects of digital eye strain.

Zenni has been a leader in kids’ eyewear since pioneering the online prescription eyewear category in 2003. With frames for toddlers as young as 18-months, Zenni offers nearly 300 children’s styles, empowering choice and self-expression among kids. Zenni recently also launched its /style-squad” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer” shape=”rect”>Kids’ Style Squad Collection, a collection of 45 elevated and sophisticated styles based on the latest fashion trends. All kids’ frames can be customized to include Blokz Trivex lenses, as well as all of Zenni’s sport glasses and goggles which provide extra impact-resistant protection and 100% UV protection.
