What is the earliest age a child can begin to wear contacts?
This varies based on the child’s need to wear corrective lenses, the maturity level of the child, and the available supervision by the parents. Wearing contact lenses is a BIG responsibility for a child. There is no specific age limit as each case is dealt with on an individual basis. The average age is usually 12-13, though children as young as 8 years can be successful contact lens wearers.
