Abstract
Contact lenses have a variety of applications in the management of corneal pathology, amblyopia and refractive error for the pediatric population. A vast range of contact lenses are available but choosing the correct lens for complex pediatric fittings poses significant challenges. The techniques for fitting these complex cases will be discussed as well as methodologies for the clinician to recognize the applications where lenses would be a more beneficial treatment option. Visual improvement may be achieved with contact lenses, but it is not the only role that such devices play.
