Because contact lenses sit on the eye, kids can see things out of the corner of their eye. Vision with contact lenses, particularly peripheral vision, is less obstructed than with glasses.
Appearance
Contact lenses can help give kids a self-esteem boost. In a clinical study, 80% of parents agreed that contact lenses made their children feel more confident.**
Freedom
Lenses allow them freedom to run around, take part in sports, and play without glasses getting in the way. That also means no fear of glasses breaking or being knocked off.
Comparable Cost to Glasses
When it comes down to contacts vs glasses - contact lenses are usually easier and cheaper to replace than glasses when they are lost.
