Question:
How young can you be to get contact lenses?
What's the minimum age to get contacts? I'm in my teens i have glasses to see the board but i HATE them! Can i get contacts?
Answers:
Theoretically any one of any age can wear contact lenses. In some circumstances, even babies are fitted with contacts.
Generally speaking I will only fit a child with contacts if I feel that they are responsible enough to take good care of them, and their parents are enthusiastic and willing to help. The youngest child I've ever fitted was 9, a very serious, sweet girl with really bad eyesight who was so pleased to have contacts that she was probably th most responsible and careful patient I had!
You're best bet is to just make an appointment with you Optician, and have a chat with them about the options.
