There's nothing cuter or cooler than seeing a toddler donning a pair of sunglasses. What many parents don't consider is the health benefits behind those Foster Grants. Kiddie sunglasses are more than just a fashion statement -- they're a necessity in protecting your child's eyes. The right pair of sunglasses can actually block 100 percent of the ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun.

This is important since UV rays can contribute to cataracts and other eye problems. Other research indicates that high-energy light rays can lead to macular degeneration. Ironically, it's adults who are more apt to wear sunglasses when it's actually the children who are even more in need of protection. That's because the eyes of a child aren't as developed and aren't as capable of filtering out high-energy rays.
