Contact Lens Could be a Healthy Option for Children by Angela Mohan on March 3, 2021 at 12:01 PM Long-term ocular health of kids wearing daily disposable soft contact lenses had minimal impact on physiology over a tenure of six years. New study results affirm that lenses are an option for children as young as eight years old. Ocular Health of Children Wearing Daily Disposable Contact Lenses Over a 6-Year Period (Woods J, et al) adds to the growing body of evidence in support of contact lens wear in children for myopia control. The paper has been accepted by Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, the peer review journal of the British Contact Lens Association.
