Contact lenses are prescribed for babies and children for medical reasons such as congenital cataracts, aphakia, corneal conditions, or eye injuries.

Congenital Cataracts: Infants born with cataracts may require contact lenses as part of their treatment plan. Contact lenses can be used to help maintain the development of the infant’s visual system while they await cataract surgery.

Aphakia: If an infant has undergone cataract surgery or is born without a natural lens (aphakia), contact lenses may be used to provide the necessary refractive correction. Without correction, aphakia can lead to severe vision problems.

Keratoconus: Although rare in infants, keratoconus is a condition where the cornea becomes progressively thin and conical in shape. In some cases, contact lenses, including rigid gas permeable (GP) lenses or scleral lenses, may be used to provide stable vision.

Eye Injuries or Surgeries: Contact lenses can be employed to protect and heal the eyes of infants or children who have experienced traumatic injuries or undergone certain surgical procedures.

Corneal Conditions: Some congenital corneal conditions may require contact lenses for infants to improve vision and promote normal eye development.

My first eye exam in fifteen years. I am so thankful that I found Insight Vision Center. Dr. Lam and staff made me feel like a welcome guest. My eye exam revealed very minor blurriness and Dr. Lam did not pressure me into purchasing eyewear for a condition not necessitating glasses… yet. Maybe next year? I am getting older. They took my VSP insurance. Yay!

Dr. Lam and staff are amazing. Every phone call or interaction is friendly. You can feel the smiles and joy over whatever mode of communication you are interacting with them. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable and helps you to better understand everything that is going on with your eyes. She made me aware of potential problems I may have with my eyes and walked me through every step of the process. She helped me understand the various factors that could be causing my vision to be a little impaired and followed up with me as I had to see an ophthalmologist. Great team, great office.
