Popis: In recent years, the use of contact lenses (CL) in pediatric ophthalmology practice has become increasingly relevant. It is, on the one hand, associated with an increasing compliance with guidelines for using contact lenses and the improvement of lenses’ capabilities, on the other hand. Currently, the indications to contact lens wear in children are the same as for the adults, although with certain specific limitations. In addition, there is also a number of specific indications for using contact lenses in children. In this regard, the purpose of this review was to study the effect of using hyperopic defocus inducing CLs in young children with moderate and high hyperopia.Conflict of interest: Elena Yu.
