The Contact Lens Service at Children's Hospital Boston provides complete contact lens care for infants and children. The program offers fitting of contact lenses and follow-up care for therapeutic and cosmetic needs.
We specialize in providing specialty fit contact lenses for newborns and infants who have had cataracts removed, children with keratakonus, astigmatism and other conditions. We provide a special contact lens that blocks light that can be used in lieu of an adhesive patch in patching therapy.
Our pediatric optometrists provide instructions to parents and children for wearing and handling of the lenses. New and replacement lenses and materials required for their care can be purchased. Patients are referred by clinicians both in and outside of Children's.
