When can I start wearing contacts?!


Question: When can I start wearing contacts?
I am 13 and I need glasses but I want to use contact lenses but my parents say I'm too young and my eyes need to adjust? Does this mean you must be a certain age to wear contacts? It's never been a money issue, just when do my eyes adjust?

so you've never had glasses before?

well, wear glasses for a year or two so your eyes get used the the "vision improvement" [i guess?] and then try contacts.

contacts are awesome :] i wear them.



It means in your household, living with your parents, you are too young to get contacts, and they will not let you get them, or even get the contact eye exam (since they would be paying for it), until comes the time they feel that you are old enough.

That being said, children much younger than yourself get contacts, but their parents feel they are mature enough to handle taking care of the contacts and keeping them clean. You it seems have parents, that do not feel you are ready, which may very well be why they have told you that you are too young.

So you will either need to show them that you are ready to take on the responsibility of cleaning and disinfecting contacts, and maintaining proper hygiene when handling contacts.
