Contact lenses are a great alternative to wearing glasses for children who need vision correction. Children can properly and safely care for their contacts with the below tips provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration:

Contact lenses should always be prescribed by an eye care professional. Some contacts are replaced each day with a new pair, and others are replaced on a monthly basis.  Either type of contact may be prescribed depending on the child and their vision. For any questions regarding your child’s vision, contact the primary care physician or consult a local ophthalmologist or optometrist.
