Paediatric Contact Lenses

We fit contact lenses from age 4 weeks old

Yes that's right. Sometimes children as young as 4 weeks need contact lenses. We are one of the few practices to fit contact lenses for congenital cataract, post-trauma, Stickler's syndrome, high refractive error and more. Sometimes contact lenses are used for children who are self conscious about wearing glasses or children who are active in sports or gymnastics. Don't assume that your child is unsuitable for contact lenses, see us first for a professional opinion. In every contact lens patient, full education and tuition on contact lenses insertion, removal and safety is given.

David Foresto is pleased to offer full paediatric contact lens services following paediatric cataract surgery

Cataracts are not just for older people - sometimes kids are born with cataracts. Following cataract surgery by a Paediatric Ophthalmologist, we can provide custom contact lenses for kids starting at age 4 weeks.
