While, in some ways, contact lens considerations for children are the same as those for teenagers
and adults, some significant differences require further discussion. Whether or not a child is a
candidate for contact lenses and at what age they can safely wear them depends on several factors.
For one thing, it’s essential to evaluate how well a child can handle the responsibility of safely
and properly caring for their contacts. Another consideration is the presence of underlying medical
conditions or significant seasonal allergies. At the office of Eye Physicians of Orange County, P.C., we provide skilled
and experienced care. If you are interested in contact lenses for your child, we’re well equipped to
