Well i am a 13 year old girl and i started wearing contacts in the 5th grade!.!.!.!.!.!.i think i was even younger than your son!. I hated wearing glasses and i was practically begging for contacts!. My mom wears contacts and she helped me alot!. Really, if he wants them that bad he should be able to be responsible enough to wear them!. Ask your doc ALL the things you need to do and dont do when you have contacts!. Taking care of them and your eyes are really important, so make sure he can do everything needed to wear contacts!. My parents started me out on dailys!. They are kind of expensive but they are good for younger kids!. you just throw them out every night!. well hope this helped! good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Im a 13 year old female!. I got contacts just after my 12th birthday!. If you think he is responsible enough for them I say go for it!. They are kinda hard at first to get them in and take them out so he will have to get used to that and the way they feel!. i love my contacts but they have been making my eyes hurt!. You should always have a pair of glasses handy though for days he may not want to put them in or incase he runs out!. I say though, as long as you think he is responsible, try it out!. If it doesnt work out well then just use glasses!. Good Luck! <3Www@Answer-Health@Com

too young is like 9 but i think your son
is ready for contacts

the pros:
he'll feel more confident

cons:
it'll take a while for him to get used to the feel

but its worth it!
all my friends got contacts at age 10 or so
and they said they love it
if he doesnt like it he can always switch back

just let him try it =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

I got contacts when I was 13 I never even had glasses!.!.!.I just got some this year and I absolutely hate them!!! They give me headaches and It's hard concentrating while driving, Glasses make me feel lightheaded and they are ugly!.!.!.!.:/ Yeah, contacts are awesome in my opinion!.!.!.The only con I can think of is they get annoying taking out every night and putting em on in the morning, As long as you take good care of them they are waaay better than glasses!. I wish I could have got some when I was 11! It would have made school way better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

12 years old!.

There's no set age, you can give them to your son when you know he's responsible enough to take care of them!. I know a girl who wore them in 4th grade once!.!.!.I'm 19 and I wore them when I was 12!.

Why don't you try it out first!? A pack costs about $30!.!.!.give them to him, and see if all goes well!. People are shallow in middle school, when I got contacts so many people started talking to me lol

I have disposable contacts, they're supposed to be thrown away every week!. But I throw them away every month or two and I'm fine!.!.!.even my eye dr!. says its okay!. I think they say that so they have you buy more and they make more money!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
