Growing up can be a difficult experience at times, and it can be nice to have the option of contact lenses for certain occasions.
Recently, one of our optometrists fitted a 10 year old boy with contacts. He enjoyed playing sports, but found that glasses could be cumbersome, and there was always a risk of the glasses getting damaged.
His parents were delighted when it was found that he was a suitable candidate for contact lens wear, and he now enjoys wearing them for sports. We received a thank you card from his parents thanking us for ‘giving him a positive introduction to lenses’.
If your child wears glasses but you would like them to have the option of contact lenses on occasion, why not make an appointment to see if they might be suitable for contact lenses.
