If it is necessary to prescribe contact lenses for children, this correction should be made as soon as possible. As a consequence of the development of soft (hydrophile) lenses, the above mentioned group of patients has increased considerably. In any case, a monolateral aphakia as well as a manifest anisometropia should be corrected by a contact lense to avoid amblyopia, heterotropia and loss of stereoscopic vision. Usually soft lenses are well tolerated, so that patients suffering from aphakia as well as hyperopia should always use this type of lense. Nevertheless, the hard lense still has its indication in treating myopia and high astigmatism.
如果有必要为儿童开处方配隐形眼镜，应尽早进行这种矫正。由于软性（亲水性）镜片的发展，上述患者群体已大幅增加。在任何情况下，单侧无晶状体以及明显的屈光参差都应通过隐形眼镜进行矫正，以避免弱视、斜视和立体视觉丧失。通常软性镜片耐受性良好，因此无晶状体以及远视患者应始终使用这种类型的镜片。然而，硬性镜片在治疗近视和高度散光方面仍有其适应证。
