[Paying attention to the application of contact lenses in the treatment of special types of refractive abnormalities in children].

Childhood vision is in the stage of development, and the incidence of ametropia is high. For special types of refractive abnormalities such as ultra-high myopia, ultra-high anisometropia and aphakia, conventional wearing of frame glasses can easily cause aberrations and peripheral visual deformations, affect the visual development of children, and even cause refractory amblyopia. In this article, the benefits of contact lenses are discussed from perspectives of ultra-high refractive error, refraction-related refractory amblyopia, and photosensitivity-related refractive error, so as to attract the attention of clinical physicians, expand the application scope of contact lens wear, give full play to the role of contact lenses, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of refractive abnormalities in children.
