Baby, Toddler & Junior Sunglasses
Blue Light Glasses Too!
The name "ro•sham•bo" is a reference to the nostalgic game we all grew up playing... most people know the game as “rock, paper, scissors,” but we grew up calling it ro•sham•bo! It also pays tribute to our autism support mission: special education teachers have told us that playing ro•sham•bo with children with autism can be a valuable teaching tool when they need a quiet, calming, and personal interaction with a teacher. We have autism in our family, so this has been and always will be a pillar of our business.
Our durable sunglasses block 100% of UVA/B/C rays and are Italian made and assembled in the United States. Our flexible, durable material is soft and free of all the nasty stuff (BPA, phthalate, lead, latex), and specially designed for baby's use and abuse. We even mold our logos into the design to avoid unnecessary paint.
Watch our video below to check out how these specially designed bendable frames hold up!
Paediatric optometrists warn that most of the lifetime ultraviolet (UV) damage done to a person’s eyes occurs during childhood and the risk for retinal damage from the sun’s rays is greatest in children less than 10 years old. However, the consequences usually do not become apparent until well after they are adults.
This is because eye damage due to UV exposure accumulates over a lifetime and the cells of the lens of the eye cannot repair themselves and are never naturally replaced. We did not have the knowledge that we do today of the harmful affects of UV radiation on our eyes. Just as sun exposure to the skin can be cumulative and cause problems later in life, so can UV exposure to the eyes.
UV radiation has now been linked to the formation of cataracts, which is a clouding of the crystalline lens within the eye. It also can cause growths on the white part of the eye, which are seen frequently in surfers and others who spend a lot of time in the sun, called Pingueculas and Pterygiums.
We now feel that there is evidence that UV exposure can increase the risk of damage to retina (the inner layer of the eye) called macular degeneration, later in life.
We hate when things break! We are so confident that our Italian-made sunglasses can withstand your baby that we offer a full damage replacement guarantee if your ro•sham•bo baby frames break or get damaged in the first year of their use (in the course of normal, intended & expected use).We also hate when lenses get lost or scratched! If twisted at an awkward angle, it is possible for lenses to pop out of your shades. Have no fear! The lens is shatter resistant and small parts tested, so it is still safe for baby on its own. It is also extremely easy to pop back in to place (watch our videos).
Safety and quality of our Italian made sunglasses is our #1 concern here at ro•sham•bo baby. We have designed our shades and carrying case with baby in mind, especially baby’s desire to put them in their mouth! Our shades and our case have been laboratory certified as BPA free, lead free, latex free, heavy metal free, among many other nasty things! They are also in compliance with the U.S. federal hazardous substances act 16 cfr 1501 for small parts (fancy way of saying there are no bad chemicals and no small parts that might fall off and be a choking hazard for your little one!). All of our lenses are tested by our manufacturer and an independent lab to make sure they are compliant with all US, EU and other international UV standards to block 100% UVA/B/C rays. We also limit the paint in our product that might chip off in baby’s mouth by molding in our logos to the sides. Want proof of this science mumbo jumbo? Us too, so here’s the most recent lab results.
All ro•sham•bo baby sunglasses are polarized. Polarized lenses reduce glare and eye strain, while still delivering 100% UVA/B/C protection. All of our lenses are tested by our manufacturer and an independent lab to make sure they are compliant with all US, EU and other international UV standards to block 100% UVA/B/C rays. Tri Acetate Cellulose (TAC) polarized lenses feature a new lens technology formulated for superior visual and polarization clarity. They have a scratch coating and block 100% harmful UV rays up to 400 nanometers. These lenses are very lightweight and highly impact resistant. Each batch of our polarized TAC lenses are also tested for effectiveness and were specifically chosen due to their lightweight design and high performance for all of your active families!
All ro•sham•bo baby sunglasses lenses are Category 3 in terms of darkness, which falls into line with the European standard for UV protective sunglasses and also meet regulated United States safety standards. Sunglasses with category 3 lenses provide a high level of sun glare reduction and good level of UV protection against strong sun brightness and light reflected off of water or snow. All of our sunglasses also have polarized lenses, which provides 100% protection against UVA, UVB and UVC rays.
Screen time happens...do something about it with our toddler blue light glasses!Experts warn that blue light rays from electronic devices can cause serious damage to eyes and even screw up your child's sleep patterns. Our bendable, soft, durable frames are comfortable and ultra light for little ones!
serious damage to eyes and even screw up your sleep patterns, so we decided to use our unbreakable frames to stop those pesky rays with our AVN lenses to create our custom ro•sham•bo baby screen time glasses.
Unbreakable frames - Our bendable, soft, durable frames are comfortable and ultra light!
Prescription quality lenses - We use lightweight, shatterproof, and high performance AVN lenses designed for durability. No prescription required!
Blue light blocking protection - Block over 80% of the most harmful blue light rays (under wavelength 420 nm) to protect your eyes.

Just as your child learns in school, sunlight is made up of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet light. When combined, it becomes the white light we see. Each of these colors has a different energy and wavelength. Red light rays have longer wavelengths and less energy, where on the other end, blue light rays have shorter wavelengths (between 380 - 500 nm) and more energy.
There are two types of blue light.
Natural blue light comes from the sun. Our body uses blue light from the sun to regulate our natural circadian rhythm (sleep and wake cycles), boost alertness, elevate your mood, and improve your overall feeling of wellbeing.
Artificial blue light comes from digital screens like TVs, computers, smart phones, iPads, fluorescent and LED lights.
Because blue light waves are one of the shortest, strongest energy wavelengths in visible light spectrum, they can penetrate your eye easily and directly reach the retina.
Our eyes do not have enough natural filters to protect against artificial blue light, especially in children.
This can cause eye strain, physical and mental fatigue, headaches, dry eyes, and sleeplessness if you use electronic devices for long periods of time or sit in front of a computer all day.
Some sources of artificial blue light:
Fluorescent & LED light
Flat screen LED televisions
Computer monitors & laptops
Smart phones & tablets / iPads
Other electronic devices
Here are some things you can do to help reduce your blue light exposure:Invest in AVN lenses, which are also known as blue light blocking glasses.
These are available in different sizes: toddler, junior.
These blue light lenses will help protect your eyes and reduce the amount of harmful blue light rays that reach your retina.
When staring at a digital screen, blink more often.
Take frequent breaks from staring at electronic devices, and don’t hold too close to your eyes for long periods of time.
Clean your screen. A smudge-free, dust-free screen helps reduce glare.
Change your digital device background colors from bright white to warmer colors to reduce eye strain.
