Contact Lenses for children

Contact lenses for infants or children are very useful when eyeglasses are inconvenient or do not provide the best results. In addition, contact lenses provide an optical correction that is in closer proximity to the normal eye. This is important as it provides the child with the best opportunity, to develop good vision.

Several parents are apprehensive about contact lenses for their children. Yet, with proper care and attention, the risk of complications, is low and the potential benefit is high. In addition, we educate parents about taking appropriate care of their child’s contact lenses to avoid potential problems.

Contact Lens Dispensing Visit (for Children)

When the contact lenses are dispensed, the parent is taught how to insert and remove them, as well as how to care for the lens when it is not in the child’s eye. Patients wearing extended-wear lenses must return in 24 to 48 hours. Patients wearing daily wear lenses should return within one to two weeks.

Contact Lens Follow-up Visits (for Children)

Follow-up visits are essential to ensure that the lenses are fitted properly. Vision is appropriate, and that there are no adverse reactions, which may have occurred, due to the contact lens. In complex cases, frequent visits for follow up would be necessitated.
