3. At what age can one begin to wear contact lens?As soon as the need for vision correction is identified, contact lenses are a viable option. In fact, they have frequently been used in premature infants, who sometimes have vision problems. With proper care and lens maintenance, infants, young children, teens, and adults of all ages can use contact lenses effectively. However, for routine use especially in children, spectacles are more practical.
4. Is it true that there are some contact lenses that can actually slow or even control myopia?Many contact lens specialists agree that the use of Oxygen Permeable, or RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable) contact lenses, that are rigid by construction, may slow or retard the progression of shortsightedness, whereas spectacles or soft contact lenses offer no benefit of this type.
