Both the Lazer Junior and Matrix Kids offer excellent value for money, combining contemporary aesthetics with enduring craftsmanship.

Once upon a time, in the enchanting world of children's literature, there emerged a collection of characters so vivid and lovable that they became global classics.

The Mr. Men and Little Miss books, with their simple illustrations and captivating tales, have captured the hearts of children and adults alike for over half a century. Beginning as a response to the inquisitive mind of a child wondering what a tickle would look like, Roger Hargreaves created a world where every character, each with a unique personality, teaches us lessons about life and ourselves.

Fast forward to today, and the legacy of these beloved characters is quite literally being seen through a new lens! In an exciting collaboration, Continental Eyewear, part of the Millmead Optical Group, has partnered with the Mr. Men and Little Miss series to create a special collection of children's glasses.

As a family run company, Millmead Optical Group has woven its history into the fabric of its operations, mirroring the narratives of Mr. Men and Little Miss in its ability to adapt and flourish through the decades. Just as these classic characters have evolved while staying true to their roots, Millmead Optical Group has maintained its independent spirit and commitment to quality, understanding that their customers are the heart of their story. 

Crafted with precision and understanding of children’s facial parameters, each pair of the Mr. Men & Little Miss glasses is not just a tool for better vision but a gateway to a world of imagination and storytelling. This collection has been designed to ensure a perfect balance with adjustable properties to prevent slipping, with the lens’ shape accommodating a child’s natural, upward gaze.

The Mr. Men & Little Miss frames are designed to reflect the personality of each character, with bold colours and playful details that will make reading and exploring the real world even more fun for little ones.

Imagine a pair of Mr. Bump glasses, sturdy and durable for the adventurous child, or Little Miss Princess frames, adorned with delicate patterns fit for royalty. These glasses aren't just accessories; they're companions in every child's journey of growth and discovery.

So, let's look at the world through a new lens, one filled with colour, joy, and the whimsical charm of characters that have stood the test of time.
