Night lenses – Children
Contact lenses for Children
Perfect vision for nearsighted kids – without glasses, daytime contacts, or laser eye surgery
“Putting my son into night lenses was the absolute best thing we ever did for him. He pops ’em in at night, they work their magic while he’s catching Z’s, he takes ’em out in the morning, and bam, perfect sight. Off he goes to school – no glasses on his face, no contacts in his eye – total freedom.
He’s got no worries when he goes swimming or plays sports. We tried sports glasses once when he played rugby, but man, he hated ’em because they were uncomfortable and made him stand out.
Prescription goggles are okay until they come off, but you know he ain’t gonna wear ’em on the beach, and glasses just ain’t cool there.
Now, as he says, he’s ‘normal.’ As soon as he ditched the glasses, his head went up, his confidence came back, and the girls started to notice him… although he was too shy and being a typical boy not to notice!
Night Lenses TOTALLY changed his life. 100%.
As a bonus, his nearsightedness has stabilized, which means he’ll now have less risk of eye problems linked to his myopia when he’s older. He was on track to not being able to see the top letter of the eye chart later on, but now he’ll see most of ’em. The first day he opened his eyes and looked around without anything on ’em, my wife and I nearly teared up – he walked around the room sayin’, ‘Look, I can see that… wow, I never saw that on the wall… look out the window… wowsers!!!’
Giving him his eyes back was a major moment for all of us. I’d recommend night lenses to all parents. Tom, Benjamin’s dad.

nightlenses.com chat with Jaimin, Dylan and Kyal
We caught up with the Patel Family – dad Jaimin, who put his two boys, Dylan and Kyal, into night lenses when they were aged just 7 and 10. 7 years later, the boys and their dad joined us on the sofa for a chat about their experience and any advice they can give. Dylan and Kyal are both passionate about sports, so you’ll hear how night lenses have given them the freedom from glasses or daytime lenses, making their sports a whole lot easier
Screen stare | Myopia Progression (Short sight getting worse) | Future eye health risks
In the US we are routinely told by opticians “Your son/daughter has nearsightedness, let’s fit them up for glasses”. As parents we don’t think much of it. Nearsightedness is common right? Harmless?
However, if they said, “We’re sorry to say that your son/daughter has Myopia, a condition which, if not controlled now as a child or in their teens, will mean a 40% increased risk of eye disease later on in life and, in the worst cases, an inability to see the top letter of the eye chart when they are your age, or legal blindness” … we would sit up and take note, right?
Short sight is just a casual term for Myopia, which is a condition that can lead to eye disease later in life. High blood pressure is a condition that can lead to heart disease. Control your blood pressure, and you reduce your risk of heart disease and a heart attack. Same thing here. Control Myopia early in childhood, and your children will benefit later in life. Moreover, their eyesight won’t worsen unnecessarily. It can be stabilized with less screen time, 14 hours outdoors per week, and also with night lenses.

TOP TIP! We all struggle to get our kids to cut down on screen time. If they have progressive myopia, know that screen staring just isn’t good for their eye health. On the link above, there’s a simple guide to show your kids what they have, to walk through it, and chat about it together. Maybe explain it to them in terms of a diabetic and sugar. Excessive screen time isn’t good for their eye health in a similar way. A compromise could be instead of watching YouTube on their mobile at less than a foot, stream it onto the TV and watch from the normal sofa distance.
