Nano Vista:
flexible frames for kids

Some kids need a frame that can keep up with more than a quiet day. Nano Vista is a collection built around active childhood — giving families a dependable starting point before we tailor the fit, lens and wearing setup to the child in front of us.

The right frame still needs the right fit

Even a flexible kids' frame works best when it is properly sized and adjusted. We check the bridge, frame width, temple fit and lens position to make sure the pair they choose sits where it should.

Etnia Barcelona

Colour they pick
for themselves

Etnia Barcelona builds its kids' range the way it builds the adult one — saturated colour, patterned acetate and shapes with real character. Parents ask whether a frame will survive the year; children ask whether they like it. This is the collection that answers the second question, and the reason a pair stays on their face instead of in a backpack.

Glasses should fit a child —
not a smaller adult

A child's face isn't simply a smaller version of an adult's. The bridge, the width, the proportions are different — and they keep changing as they grow. That's why we fit children's glasses on the child, not just by the numbers stamped on the frame.

What we check when they try one on

The bridge

Diagram comparing an adult-shaped glasses bridge, which slides down a child's nose, against a properly fitted kids' bridge that sits and stays

A child's nose bridge is lower and flatter than an adult's, so an adult-shaped bridge slides down all day. Kids' frames are built with a bridge that sits and stays.

Frame width

Diagram comparing a frame too wide and too narrow for a child’s face against one that ends level with the edge of the face

The frame should end near the edge of the face, not past it. Too wide and it slips sideways; too narrow and it presses.

Temple length

Arms need to reach the ear and turn down behind it — not stop short, and not push the frame forward off the face.

Where the eyes land

Eyes should sit near the centre of the lens. That is what keeps the prescription doing its job as your child looks around, not just straight ahead.

They choose the pair. We check the fit, take the measurements and make the final adjustments. As they grow, bring them back whenever the fit starts to change.

Bring them in to find their pair

No appointment needed just to try frames on — but booking means someone is set aside for you and your child. Bring their prescription if you have one.
