๐ Parents often wonder if teens can handle contacts โ Dr. Vanโs tips are here to help.
Contacts can be a safe, convenient choice for teens, but they require responsibility. Dr. Van shares essential guidelines every parent should know before giving the green light:
โจ A professional fitting and prescription are non-negotiable.
โจ Hygiene must be a daily habit โ clean hands, fresh solution, and proper case care.
โจ Follow the wear and replacement schedule exactly โ no shortcuts.
โจ Teens should know the red flags: redness, pain, or blurred vision means remove lenses immediately.
โจ And remember โ water and contacts donโt mix.
With the right guidance, teens can enjoy the freedom of contact lenses while keeping their eyes safe and healthy.
