When you bring your children to ETF Kids for contacts, you can expect:



Before ordering contact lenses for your child, our pediatric eye doctors will give him/her a comprehensive eye exam.

While our doctors will examine your child's eyes to determine the proper prescription and to make sure your son or daughter's eyes are healthy, our optometrists will also examine your child's eyes to find out if and which kinds of contacts will be comfortable and help improve his/her vision.

We provide a free lesson for all new contact lens wearers. One of our opticians will teach your child how to safely insert, remove, clean, and care for contact lenses.

The average child starts wearing contacts at age 12. However, when your child should start wearing contact lenses largely depends on his/her maturity. Wearing contacts comes with responsibilities. If these responsibilities aren’t taken seriously, your child’s vision can be harmed.
