CLs Better than IOLs for Kids/Poor Binocular Vision?
Topic: Optical

CLs can help some children, according to a report today from Contactlenses.co.uk: "Children who wear contact lenses instead of having primary intraocular lens (IOL) correction are less likely to have to undergo more than one surgical procedure to correct their unilateral congenital cataracts, a study has shown.

"Research published in the Archives of Ophthalmology details a study involving 114 infants with a unilateral congenital cataract."

 The site also noted that  many people suffer needlessly because of poor binocular vision, according to a study: "Those affected by regular headaches could be suffering from poor binocular vision, the Eye Care Trust has claimed.

"Some 12 per cent of people are affected by poor binocular vision, which means that the brain does not correctly process the images that are captured by the eyes."
