When can my child start wearing contact lenses?

Contact Lenses

The deciding factor for teens who want to wear contact lenses is not age, but maturity. Your teenager has to be able to follow strict instructions about wearing schedule, cleaning routine, and follow-up visits. Failing that, he or she could develop eye health problems. Ensure that your teen knows that the eye requires a rest from contacts, that they are not a replacement to glasses, and that there are times when they cannot be worn.
