MAIN CONFERENCE

Contact Lenses in Children: Clinical Aspects and Considerations in Pediatric Optometry


The conference will delve into the guidelines and scientific evidence regarding the use of contact lenses in the pediatric population. It will address the clinical benefits, specific indications, types of lenses available (including orthokeratology and lenses for myopia control), and strategies for their safe management.


Among the specific objectives of this conference are: to identify the cases in which contact lenses are the best option for children, to review the available types (such as orthokeratology, soft lenses, and gas permeable lenses), and to provide strategies for educating parents and patients, as well as clinical follow-up.


In addition, practical cases and recommendations will be shared to help professionals optimize their practice in pediatric optometry. A conference for vision professionals interested in enhancing children's visual care from an evidence-based approach.
