I would recommend against buying children's glasses online.
You want to have a professional looking at the fit of the glasses,
especially since you don't wear glasses yourself. It's important to have
glasses that fit really well. Of course, your kid might be totally cool
with heavier glasses that don't fit really well, but I get headaches if
my glasses don't fit really well behind my ears and on my nose, but I
also get a headache from "glass" glasses because glass is heavier than
the plastic I have.
You don't have to shell out big bucks for a super cool frame, just make
sure it's well made and doesn't break/bend easily. Get a type of glass
that a) doesn't break easily and b) doesn't scratch easily.
If you consider "transitions", keep in mind they change with UV-Light.
So they will change color in buildings that use UV-Lights. My brother
had those a few glasses back (5 or 6 years probably) and hated it
because they'd go dark in some buildings (at least one was a hospital).
You might want to check with the school what kind of lights they use,
just to be on the safe side.
