Prescription Sunglasses for under 16s

Hi, looking for some advice.

DD14 has recently started wearing glasses and has found them really beneficial, she wears them all the time. But when she is out she is finding things very bright.
I wanted to get her some sunglasses from Glasses Direct, but their T&C's state that it is illegal to sell prescription sunglasses to under 16s.
Has anyone come across this before? Is this even correct? Surely no one would know if I just got them?
Would appreciate some advice on this.

Ds12 has prescription sunglasses, they were the free pair from specsavers when they did their bogof offer.

This is definitely what I will be doing next time. Hindsight and all that 🙄
But in the meantime will see what I can do in the most cost effective way.
