Question:

My daughter is 12 years old and doesn't want glasses anymore is she able to get contacts?

She says glasses hurt her eyes and they burn when she watches tv with them on.


Answers:

I got contacts around the time I was twelve too. It depends a lot on her maturity level. If you think she can handle the daily responsibility, then reward her with contacts. She may have a low personal image of herself because of her glasses. She may just be making up those other reasons because she REALLY wants contacts, and she wants you to listen to her. If you don't think she is ready just yet for contacts, maybe you could offer them as an incentive for doing something extra around the house, or in school. Maybe a different pair might help her feel less self-conscious about her glasses.
