We can wear glasses, prescription sunglasses, contact lenses, or even have corrective surgery on our eyes to improve our vision. But for kids, options are pretty limited.

However, parents of kids with one specific vision issue just got some really good news!

Kids who suffer from nearsightedness now have the option of wearing these contact lenses for kids. Here’s everything you need to know about this breakthrough in pediatric vision correction.
