Should my bro wear contacts?!
Question:
Should my bro wear contacts?
He doesn't really care. But I think he would look better. He's only 11 so...
Answers:
the patient has to be motivated. a contact lens fit almost never works when its the parents/siblings who "want" contacts for the patient, but the patient doesnt care either way.
he's going to have to "want" it before he can be a successful wearer. lets face it: there is significant work involved in learning how to insert, remove and take care of contacts. it isnt all that easy, especially if you're 11.
that being said, i have fit contacts as young as 4 years old in medically necessary cases...so its certainly possible
