Are they good for infants?

I want to know how safe they are for my child. Anyone?

I suppose it depends on how old the child is, and how capeable they are of putting them in themselves. As far as safety goes, I think it may be safer than them wearing glasses, but I would speak to your optician first.

I wouldnt imagine you can put contact lenses into infants to be honest.

I don't think any contact lens is a good idea for children below the age of thirteen. The brain is still forming and the word caution means little to them. Glasses are ok. This bs about them being ugly is just plain crap. Glasses treat a medical condition....not help you win a beauty contest

Very well said Glasses will often help correct minor things that if left will get worse.

I would hate to put a young child in contacts and would think that glasses would be safer.

I would think that glasses would be better for infants. I would not want to have to put contacts in and possibly do anymore damage.

I would also worry about the child getting it out of his or her eye and putting it in their mouth. Let's not forget how children touch their face, rubs their eyes and nose---contacts probably aren't the best option.

Interesting question though--I wonder if any children do wear contacts.
