Paediatric contact lenses are used in the correction of ocular problems in babies and very young children. The most common application is in aphakic children where they are either born without a natural crystalline lens, or it has been surgically removed as a result of congenital or infantile cataract.
The Paediatric SiH™ Silicone Hydrogel contact lens is ideally suited to this application as it provides high levels of oxygen to the developing cornea, thus maintaining a healthy eye and provides the child with a comfortable lens to wear.
