Free Contact Lenses Consultation For Your Child At M&S Opticians

Contact lenses are not just for adults, kids can also benefit from wearing them. As long as they are comfortable handling and looking after them, children can start using contact lenses at any age. They are a great alternative to glasses and provide some practical benefits:

No more breakages, smudges or steaming up. You may find they are a practical solution for your active child. Contact lenses provide better peripheral vision, which will help your child if they play a lot of sports

If your child doesn’t like wearing glasses because it makes them self-conscious, contact lenses can make them feel more confident

Contact lenses have been clinically proven to slow the progression of myopia (short-sightedness) in children

Which contact lenses for my child?

This will be dependent on your child’s age and prescription, but the most popular type of contact lenses for children are daily disposables as they can simply be thrown away after each use and there’s no need to clean and store them. Fortnightly and monthly lenses are a slightly cheaper option but will depend on your child’s ability to look after them and keep them clean.

Your Optician can discuss the benefits of each option with you so you can make the best decision for you and your child. You can also book a free contact lenses consultation with your child, to try lenses across our wide range of brands.

Why not arrange a free contact lens assessment for your child, so you can see how they’d get on with contact lenses? Just contact your nearest M&S Opticians store to find out more.
