Monkey Monkey
A full range of protective sunglasses styled for the young that provide UVA/UVB protection. Sun protection for young eyes: It’s a monkey monkey passion.
The best solution for protecting children’s eyes from UV exposure is simple – ensure they wear sunglasses that have UV protection.
Wearing hats and staying in the shade help reduce UV exposure, but are not a substitute for the protection achieved by wearing sunglasses because UV rays can reflect off a variety of surfaces.
Eye protection
The monkey monkey range has been developed with paramount importance placed upon the protection of children’s eyes. All our glasses provide UVA/UVB protection and include a free case and cleaning cloth. All our lenses are UV400 and bear the European CE mark.
The collection was designed with mini-me in mind and has colourful array of styles from cool aviators and practical foldable frames, through to oversized cateye frames to tropical prints. The glasses range from age 3 - 11 years.
The monkey monkey range is the winner of the
Made for Mum awards 2017
for Family travel product £15-30.

Children’s eyes need extra protection from the sun now as the likely risks from unprotected sun exposure later in life are too big to ignore.
This is due to:
- children typically spending more time outdoors than adults therefore children are more exposed than adults to sunlight – it is estimated that on average their annual UV exposure is 3 times higher than for most adults. The World Health Organisation estimates that up to 80% of a person’s lifetime exposure to UV radiation occurs before the age of 18*
- Their eyes are not yet fully developed, so they have less natural protection from the harmful effects of UV light:
- Children’s pupils are larger, meaning they let in more UV light.
- Their crystalline lens is more transparent, meaning it is less efficient at filtering out UV.
