RIGID GAS PERMABLE CONTACT LENSES
FOR CHILDREN !
WHY
CHOOSE CONTACT LENSES RATHER THAN
GLASSES?
Before school age, contact lenses
will be recommended mainly for
medical reasons. Later aesthetic
and practical reasons will also
come into play.
|
AESTHETIC AND PRACTICAL REASONS.
- Children are asking for
contact lenses earlier and earlier, often
from age eight upwards, whether they are
short-sighted, long-sighted or astigmatic.
- Contact lenses help them to get on well
at school and develop their personality.
- Their field of vision is enlarged and
not limited by frames.
- Teenagers at high school can enjoy good
eyesight, without any practical or aesthetic
constraints.
MEDICAL
REASONS.
- For very young children,
conatct lenses are reserved for cases
of congenital cataracts or traumatic injuries
diagnosed by the ophthalmologist.
- Between the age of 3 and 6, they will
be preferred to glasses only when necessary
for eyesight reasons:
|
A long-sighted child´s squint
can be improved;
If there is a major difference in
vision between the two eyes, the
child will enjoy better visual comfort;
Continuous contact lenses wear will
also be recommended for a major
viual defect or for progressive
short-sightedness.
