If you’re a parent in Greensburg, Murrysville, or the surrounding area, you’re probably juggling a lot this back-to-school season – and keeping up with your child’s eye care is an important part of it. Whether they’re squinting at the board, struggling during sports, or showing signs of myopia progression, finding the right vision correction option matters.
At Eyecare Greengate, we specialize in pediatric eyewear that fits right, feels good, and helps kids see clearly – no matter what their day holds.
Prescription Eyeglasses Built for Kids
A good pair of glasses does more than sharpen vision – it boosts confidence and comfort, especially in the classroom. Our opticians work with families to choose frames that suit each child’s face shape, activity level, and personal style.
We also offer lens enhancements that make a real difference:
- Scratch-resistant coatings for durability
- UV protection for outdoor safety
- Blue light filters to support screen-heavy school days
It’s not just about seeing better – it’s about seeing better with lenses that stand up to real-life wear.
Sports Glasses & Protective Eyewear
Active kids need glasses that can keep up. Whether your child plays soccer, basketball, or just loves recess, protective eyewear can help prevent injuries and improve performance.
We carry durable sports glasses designed for high-impact play, as well as specialty lenses for kids involved in outdoor hobbies like biking or hiking. Our team will help you find the safest, most comfortable option for every activity.
Sunglasses for Kids
UV protection isn’t just for adults. Kids spend more time outdoors than we often realize – and their eyes are more sensitive to sunlight. That’s why having a quality pair of sunglasses is just as important as regular glasses.
We offer sunglasses for kids that are:
- Comfortable for smaller faces
- Designed to stay put during play
- Available in both prescription and non-prescription options
From classic to colorful, there’s a pair that fits every personality – and every parent’s peace of mind.
Designer Frames & Optician Favorites
Getting kids excited about wearing glasses starts with giving them options they’ll love. Our frame collection includes popular designer brands made specifically for younger faces, with flexible, kid-tough materials that can handle everyday wear.
Not sure where to start? Our opticians hand-pick seasonal favorites and offer one-on-one guidance to help your child find frames they actually want to wear. It’s part of the personalized experience we’ve built our reputation on.
Contact Lenses for Kids & Teens
Not all kids are ready for contacts – but for the ones who are, the results can be life-changing. We offer both daily disposables and monthly lenses, depending on your child’s age, hygiene habits, and lifestyle.
Daily lenses are great for younger wearers who want simplicity and cleanliness. Monthly lenses can be ideal for teens who are more experienced with routines and want a cost-effective option.
Myopia Control Lenses
Concerned about your child’s worsening nearsightedness? We offer myopia-control contact lenses like MiSight and overnight options like Ortho-K. These specialty lenses help slow myopia progression while offering clear, glasses-free vision.
Our team provides careful fittings, education, and ongoing support to make sure your child is comfortable, confident, and safe in their new lenses.
Helping You Choose What’s Best for Their Eyes
Whether it’s their first pair of glasses or a switch to contact lenses, Eyecare Greengate is here to help. We make sure every child is matched with eyewear that supports their vision, lifestyle, and long-term eye health.
