DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The DB4K React HOOPLA Eyeglasses bring together eco-friendly innovation and real-world durability in a round frame designed for active kids. Made from Pebax® Rnew®, a bio-based material derived from castor beans, these prescription-ready frames flex, bend, and bounce back to shape—exactly what you need when glasses meet playgrounds, backpacks, and the chaos of everyday kid life.

Award-Winning Flexible Frame Technology

The DB4K React line was named a Fast Company World-Changing Idea, and the HOOPLA model shows why. The frames are constructed from BPA-free, latex-free Pebax® Rnew®, a hypoallergenic thermoplastic elastomer that's extremely lightweight yet impact-resistant. The signature fused crinkle hinge combines strength and flexibility without exposed screws that can loosen or break. Ergonomic temples hug the head to keep glasses secure during sports and play, and each pair includes a color-coordinated removable headstrap for extra security.

Unlike many flexible kids' frames, React eyeglasses can be heated for lens insertion and adjustments, making them optician-friendly and ensuring a proper fit as your child grows. Available in sizes 42 and 44, with a 15mm bridge and temple lengths of 120-125mm, the HOOPLA fits a wide range of face shapes and ages.

Sustainable Eyewear Parents Can Feel Good About

Pebax® Rnew® is made from castor beans that absorb atmospheric CO2 while they grow, require minimal irrigation, and don't contribute to deforestation. The material supports independent family farms in India's Gujarat region through sustainable farming programs. It's a genuinely eco-friendly option that doesn't compromise on performance—these frames are built to last through years of wear.

Prescription-Ready Round Frames

The HOOPLA's round shape offers a classic, unisex look that works for boys and girls. The full-rim acetate construction accepts prescription lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Polycarbonate or Trivex lenses are recommended for kids—both offer built-in UV protection and impact resistance. The frames come in three fun colorways: Navy/Sailor (deep navy with bright blue temples), Shadow/Blue (gray front with blue temples), and Bubblegum (vibrant pink).

DB4K's mission is simple: make glasses kids actually want to wear. The HOOPLA delivers on that promise with a design that's comfortable enough for all-day school wear and tough enough to survive the ride home on the bus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are DB4K React HOOPLA eyeglasses prescription-ready?

Yes, the HOOPLA frames are fully prescription-ready and accept lenses for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The frames come with demo lenses that your optician will replace with your child's prescription lenses. The full-rim design accommodates a wide range of prescription strengths, and polycarbonate or Trivex lenses are recommended for kids due to their impact resistance and built-in UV protection.

What makes DB4K React frames more durable than regular kids' eyeglasses?

DB4K React frames are made from Pebax® Rnew®, a flexible thermoplastic elastomer that bends and twists without breaking, then returns to its original shape. Unlike standard acetate frames that can snap under stress, the React material is impact-resistant and designed to survive drops, rough handling, and active play. The fused crinkle hinge eliminates exposed screws that commonly break on traditional frames.

What size DB4K React HOOPLA should I choose for my child?

The HOOPLA is available in two sizes: 42mm and 44mm lens width. Both sizes have a 15mm bridge. The 42mm size (with 120mm temples) typically fits younger children or smaller faces, while the 44mm size (with 125mm temples) suits older kids or those with wider faces. The frames should sit comfortably without touching the cheeks, and the temples should rest gently behind the ears without pinching.

Are DB4K React frames eco-friendly and safe for kids?

Yes, DB4K React frames are made from Pebax® Rnew®, a bio-based material derived from castor beans that absorb atmospheric CO2 while growing. The material is BPA-free, latex-free, and hypoallergenic, making it safe for children with sensitive skin. The castor beans are grown sustainably by independent family farms in India through the Pragati program, which promotes water conservation and sustainable farming practices.

Can opticians adjust DB4K React HOOPLA frames?

Yes, unlike many flexible kids' frames, DB4K React eyeglasses can be heated for lens insertion and adjustments. This makes them optician-friendly and allows for proper fitting and customization as your child grows. The flexible material returns to its shape after bending, but controlled heat allows opticians to make precise adjustments to the temples and bridge for optimal comfort and fit.

Do DB4K React HOOPLA frames come with a strap?

Yes, every pair of DB4K React HOOPLA eyeglasses includes a color-coordinated removable headstrap. The strap provides extra security during sports, active play, or for younger children who need help keeping their glasses in place. The ergonomic temples are designed to hug the head even without the strap, but the strap offers peace of mind for high-energy activities.

DB4K React HOOPLA vs. Other DB4K React Frames

All DB4K React eyeglasses share the same award-winning Pebax® Rnew® flexible material and eco-friendly construction, but the frame shape and sizing make a difference for fit and style. Here's how the HOOPLA compares to other popular React models.

HOOPLA vs. ESCAPADE: Round Frame Alternatives

Both the HOOPLA and ESCAPADE feature round frames at the same $179.85 price point. The ESCAPADE offers a slightly different round silhouette with its own colorway options. If your child likes the round shape but wants a different look, the ESCAPADE is worth comparing side-by-side. Both accept the same prescription types and include the removable headstrap.

HOOPLA vs. TEAMPLAYER: Round vs. Square Frames

The TEAMPLAYER offers a square frame shape in larger sizes (45mm and 47mm), making it ideal for kids with round faces who need more angular definition. While the HOOPLA's round shape suits square or angular faces better, the TEAMPLAYER's geometry works in reverse. Both use the same flexible material and durability features, so the choice comes down to face shape compatibility and size needs.

HOOPLA vs. SPROUT: Premium vs. Budget Option

The SPROUT delivers the same Pebax® Rnew® flexible technology at $149.85—$30 less than the HOOPLA. The SPROUT is typically sized for younger children or smaller faces. If your child fits the SPROUT's dimensions and you want to save on cost without sacrificing the eco-friendly flexible material, it's an excellent value. The HOOPLA offers more size options and colorways for kids who need a larger fit or specific style preferences.

Our recommendation: The HOOPLA is the best choice for kids who suit round frames and need a versatile, unisex style in multiple colorways. Its mid-range sizing (42mm and 44mm) fits the widest age range, and the round shape complements square or angular face shapes beautifully. If your child has a rounder face, consider the TEAMPLAYER's square frames for better balance.
