Another milestone on the path to adulthood
Help unlock their potential
It can be amazing how much of a difference switching from glasses to contacts can make in your child's life.
All round vision
Contact lenses sit on the eye, so children can more easily spot things out of the corner of their eye.
Boost of confidence
In a clinical study, 80% of parents agreed that contact lenses improved their children’s confidence.2
Ease of movement
Contact lenses for children can help give them the freedom to run around, take part in sport and play,** without glasses getting in the way. That also means no fear of prescription glasses breaking.
Affordability
Contact lenses can be used daily, or saved for special occasions and busy days, such as when playing sports,** meaning you can easily control the costs of your child's contact lenses.
Footnotes
**While contact lenses are perfect for an active lifestyle, it is not advised to expose your contact lenses to water, and as such swimming with contact lenses should be avoided. This includes avoiding wearing contact lenses not just while swimming, but also showering, bathing and using a hot tub.

All ACUVUE® contact lenses have UV Blocking to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. UV absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV absorbing eyewear such as UV absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV absorbing eyewear as directed by your optician.

Important information for contact lens wearers: ACUVUE® Contact Lenses can be used for vision correction. An Eye Care Professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and instructions on proper lens care. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, any eye disease or systemic disease, that may affect the eye, or if you are allergic to any ingredients. If you experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems, remove the lens and contact your Eye Care Professional immediately. For more information, including warnings and precautions, carefully read the Instructions for Use.
