Our specially designed paediatric soft contact lenses provide vital visual support for infants who require correction from the earliest stages of life. These lenses were developed in collaboration with a leading NHS hospital, ensuring that every design meets the highest standards of clinical care and safety.
Why Newborns May Need Contact Lenses
Some babies are born with eye conditions that make standard vision correction impossible or insufficient. The most common reasons include:
• Congenital cataracts
After cataract removal surgery, contact lenses help focus light onto the retina to restore clear vision.
• High refractive errors
Severe short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hypermetropia), or astigmatism can be corrected more effectively with contact lenses than glasses.
• Therapeutic needs

• Therapeutic needs
In certain cases, lenses act as protective bandages to aid healing or normalize the appearance of the eye
Benefits Over Glasses

• Comfort and practicality: Lightweight and unobtrusive, they allow babies to interact with their environment without the limitations of heavy frames.
• Early visual development: Clear, stable vision during the critical early months supports normal eye and brain development.
