Good to hear she is to wear shooting glasses. have you looked at 'Small frame safety glasses' - Far cheaper than shooting glasses and they do them in clear and yellow tints.

I tried a google search for 'childrens saftey spectacles'. There were several.

I would suggest a polycarb lens / shield and wraparound to stop any flying debris. No gaps as a spec frame gives. If you can try some on anywhere it would be better. Safety spec are made to fit all and we are all different! They are not all easily adjusted. Make sure the frame / lenses are safety approved with ident engraving. It's easy to say 'Safety spex' and not to have had a sample tested. (The US safety code is ANSI) This should cover impact, frame and lens optical quality and UV filter standards.

I used to deal with a company called Norville Optical. They made good stuff but probably only available through an optician.

Hope this helps
