Abstract

Global contact lenses market is developing dynamically. Eye care practitioners in Poland have access to a new generation of one-day silicon hydrogel soft contact lenses with improved parameters. These soft contact lenses seem to be completely safe for children with refractive errors and almost irreplaceable for those who do not want to wear glasses. This paper is a review of current knowledge about possibilities of using pediatric soft contact lenses based on present peer-review papers, materials from British Contact Lens Association conference and author’s experience.
