| Contacts for Teenagers |
Ask all the questions that worry you and your child. Find out your practitioner’s phone number and e-mail so you will be able to contact him in case of emergency or new questions.
Contacts are very comfortable. Especially if compare them with eye glasses. They are almost invisible to human eye and produced of safe and quite flexible materials. A person gets used to contact lenses wearing in a short period of time. Modern technologies enable eye practitioners to fit lenses correctly and very accurately to one’s eyes.
 Contacts may cause problems with wearing them when dirt deposits on them. But it won’t happen if to clean and disinfect them properly. You child won’t have such type of problems if he or she wears daily disposables. But if your child has long-term wear lenses you have to use cleaning and disinfecting solutions in order to keep the lenses in good condition.
The majority of people prefer multi-purpose solution, which is very convenient – instead of three bottles with cleaning, disinfecting and wetting solution you use only one bottle with the same result. An interesting fact: most teens are more attentive to the cleaning procedures than adults.
A lot of teens are afraid to touch their eyes. They find it unpleasant and even painful procedure. But you and your child should not worry about it. The only thing you should do is to teach your child how to insert lenses properly and it won’t trouble him so much in the future.
You and you child have to be prepared to unforeseen situations, such as lens loss or its tearing. Consult you doctor what you can do in such situations. He may advice you to have a spare pair of lenses or a copy of prescription. If you child wears disposable contact lenses it will be much easier to deal with the problem because you supposed to have a couple of lenses pairs at home.
