Contact Lenses Today Fitting Tip of the Month
Contact Lenses and Kids
Children comprise a largely untapped contact lens demographic. With the plethora of daily and two-week disposable contact lenses available, most can be fit in a safe, successful way.
A pearl for expediting the fitting process is to apply the first pair of lenses yourself or have your technician apply them. The child will be able to assess comfort and vision easily and will be less apprehensive about lens application and removal.
