Treatment of ametropias in children of early age by means of contact lenses

Abstract

With the view to prevention of low vision and blindness there is the use of pediatric contact lenses for the correction of ametropia in small children. Until recently, there were no such lenses in Ukraine, and commonly used lenses are not suitable for children's eyes due to the inconsistency of the parameters. That is why, invalids since childhood make up 25% in the general structure of primary disabilities in vision in Ukraine.
