Age and contact lenses
Nowadays, contact lenses are becoming more and more popular and millions of people around the world choose to correct their vision defects, contact lenses becoming a good ally for a perfect vision regardless of age.
Can my baby wear contact lenses?
The human eye can tolerate contact lenses from childhood. There are cases in which babies are prescribed contact lenses to solve the treatment of congenital conditions. One of the key factors in determining whether contact lenses are right for your child is assessing the child’s responsibility and willingness to wear them.
It is important for parents to evaluate how the child performs daily hygiene, if he is tidy and closely follows daily duties. Also, the child has to demonstrate the ability to apply / remove contact lenses without too much difficulty, and to clean and disinfect the lenses on his own.
Most of the time, the little ones are enthusiastic about the idea of wearing contact lenses at the expense of glasses. In addition, wearing contact lenses improves the self-confidence of children. When they become aware that they need correction, they wonder whether the glasses will fit them, how much they will change their physical appearance, and especially what the other children will say at school. The idea of wearing contact lenses encourages them in most cases to accept the optical correction, which is an extremely important aspect in the development of vision.
One of the most important benefits of contact lenses is to obtain a wide field of vision, unrestrained by the eyewear frame. They also do not sneeze, not slip away from the face, and remain more stable when the little ones run, being ideal for children who practice sports.
Adolescents and adults are the ones who most often enjoy the benefits of contact lenses, making them the majority of those who choose them as a means of correction.
After the age of 40, the sight almost drops, due to the loss of elasticity of the lens, and the objects at almost begin to be seen with difficulty, it being necessary to remove them so that they can focus. It is a natural process of evolution and is called presbiopia.
For contact lens carriers who are confronted with presbyopia, but also for those with a dynamic lifestyle, there is an effective solution. Multifocal contact lenses offer the freedom to carry out any activity that involves both remote and near vision without the need for glasses. The field of view is wide, without distortion, the view is impeccable even when moving from a distance to close and vice versa.
So with contact lenses, you can enjoy impeccable and comfortable viewing at any age, regardless of age, daily activities or hobbies you have.
