STEPPER EYEWEAR Expands STEPPER Start Collection to Support Visual Development Through to Early Teens

STEPPER EYEWEAR has announced a significant expansion of its acclaimed STEPPER Start children’s collection, now offering models designed to support growing faces up to age 14 and introducing new Titanium frames that offer lightweight, hypoallergenic comfort for active young wearers.

‘This evolution of the STEPPER Start range reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting child development through better vision, with products informed by clinical research and shaped by the World Fit design philosophy,’ comments Peter Reeve, Managing Director STEPPER UK Ltd.

A Focus on Developmental Vision Support

The extended collection addresses a critical but often overlooked need: eyewear that fits anatomically and developmentally throughout the full span of childhood and into adolescence. With facial structures continuing to evolve well beyond early childhood, improperly fitted eyewear can compromise not just comfort—but also lens positioning and, in turn, visual development.

“Children aren’t just small adults—they require eyewear that understands growth, balance, and clinical alignment,” continues Peter. “This expansion ensures that we can now support children and young teens with frames that evolve with them.”

Titanium Joins the Range

The introduction of Titanium models to the STEPPER Start line brings the brand’s signature innovation in materials to the children’s category. Titanium offers:

• Exceptional strength with ultra-light weight
• Hypoallergenic, skin-friendly performance
• Long-term durability suited to everyday wear

Combined with STEPPER’s hallmark TX5, the expanded collection offers a robust yet refined portfolio for practices and parents.

Designed for Fit. Built for Confidence.

Developed using facial-fit research, including insights from Dr. Alicia Thompson, STEPPER Start frames are crafted to minimise pressure points and ensure that lenses remain optimally aligned—whether a child is at school, at play, or growing through key vision development stages.
