While glasses are a reliable tool, specialized contact lenses offer unique benefits for pediatric patients who participate in sports or struggle with self-confidence. Family Vision Care Optometry INC. provides the clinical expertise needed to determine if your child is a candidate for these advanced options. Since the visual system develops rapidly during childhood, regular visits to an eye doctor are a vital step for your child's success.
The Importance of Professional Contact Lens Exams for Children
A specialized evaluation is necessary to ensure that a child’s eyes can support contact lenses. During these contact lens exams, the optometrist measures the curvature of the cornea and assesses the quality of the tear film. We use high-resolution technology to create a precise map of the eye, which allows for a custom fit that prevents irritation. These exams are performed to confirm that the child has the physical maturity to handle the lenses and maintain proper hygiene. Your child is taught the correct way to insert and remove the lenses by our patient staff.
Benefits of Specialized Contact Lens Options
Specialized contact lenses are often used to treat specific conditions like myopia, or nearsightedness. Orthokeratology lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the eye so children can see clearly during the day without any corrective wear. Multifocal contact lenses are also used to slow down the progression of vision changes, which helps protect long-term ocular health. Proper myopia management is achieved through the use of these innovative tools under the supervision of a qualified professional.
