Information about Care of Aphakic Contact Lenses (PDF)
Parents, and even some doctors, are amazed that young children can tolerate contact lens wear. With diligence, it is not only possible, but also quite beneficial for a child that’s had cataract surgery. Our goal is to both provide excellent care as well as empower parents who will be involved with caring for the lenses. We will work with you to rehabilitate your child’s vision to the highest level possible and guide you in your role along the way. Download the PDF above to help you, and your child, to learn appropriate care and handling of contact lenses.
