What is a good age for my child to get contacts?
Wearing contacts is really a matter of maturity level or responsibility rather than age. We’ve had children as young as seven or eight years old wearing contacts, but most children are usually 10 or older before they’re ready to take on the responsibilities of wearing lenses. (They’ll need to keep the lenses clean and thoroughly wash their hands before putting the contacts in, for example.) We’ll be glad to talk with you and your child to help you decide if he/she is ready for contacts.
