Contact lenses for children and teens
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. §n=449 1. Li L, Moody K, Tan DT, Yew KC, Ming PY, Long QB.
