If your child is active, sporty or forever breaking their specs, then maybe day or night lenses are the best option for them? If you think they won’t be able to manage contact lenses, think again.

After 6 months of use children often remark that they forget that they have an eye problem, as the insertion/removal matches their tooth brushing routine. And with nothing on their eye or on their face to give them hassles during the day, and the ability to see clearly all the time, they forget what it’s like to not be able to see. “Putting our son into a myopia control device was the best thing we ever did. His myopia (short-sight) stabilised and we have been told that he now has a 40% decreased risk of eye diseases like detached retina, myopic macular degeneration and Glaucoma when he’s older, which is brilliant. Sadly we didn’t start until he was 14 and already at -4D. We wished we would have started immediately at first diagnosis when he was 9. Our advice to parents is start early, start immediately. Long term eye health is so important”. Tom Griffiths, dad of Benjamin
