FDA offers CL advice for parents
October 31, 2012“Mom, Can I Get Contact Lenses, Please?” is a new online article from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration designed to offer practical advice parents can pass on the children regarding the use of contact lenses.
“Kids can benefit from wearing contacts, but these lenses can cause serious eye injuries if not used and treated properly. There are issues parents should consider and, if the decision is to go with contacts, specific hygiene and safety advice to follow,” the FDA noted in announcing the new article last month.
