It can probably vary from person to person hence its sensible to go and ask an optician

I started with lenses when I was around 13, and I still have them now (18). I use soft lenses, change them every month and I don't sleep in them.

I know twelve year olds that wear contacts.

I wear one week contacts and sleep in them.

I wear both, I only wear my glasses if my contacts need a break
or something, These contacts you can keep in for a hole month, and you
can wear them to sleep and in water!!

i've had glasses for a long time and now a while ago i switched to contacts and when i was at the opticians i saw probably a 3rd grader gettin contacts, very young, and very whiny ofcourse after he got the test ones in he started crying because they were bothering him when he didnt even give em time to get used to it and later i heard when i was in the chair waiting i heard he wants glasses back. Glasses are easier and less harmful to your eyes but contacts are more comfortable (for me). I myself wear 2 weeks ones and i usually wear them 3-4 weeks, until they start to blur out

To answer your question then yes, 13 year olds can wear contacts

EDIT: i got contacts because glasses bothered me when i did sports and sometimes i had to remove my glasses and then i couldnt see, but now i can see clearly and im happy for it so if you just want contacts for no reason then reconsider because contacts are more harmful to your eyes than glasses as i mentioned in the rant above, and btw glasses dont make you look stupid, its you who thinks glasses makes you look stupid and if people make fun of you then mind them, just let it go, do what you want as long as you feel comfortable with it

Thats some of the reason i hate them, like football, getting kicked and they might break

Contrary to what you guys are saying, I heard that contact lenses were better for your eyes.

i think the daily ones are better but not the ones which you use for ever!

My father wore the same pair of contact lenses for 9 years. They were hard lenses; he's since switched to wearing like weekly things. I guess the soft, weekly ones are easier to wear. I don't think there's any difference between how good for your eyes glasses/contacts are as long as you keep your prescriptions up-to-date. I prefer glasses because I have a serious dislike of touching my eyes thus making lenses hard to put in/take out plus they felt really horrible to wear because of my astigmatism, I also like the ease of being able to take glasses off whenever I want 'cause I find the whole blurriness relaxing from time to time.

Yer same here like when reading a book i find it easyer to read without glasses because its soft the text when with the glasses its sharp
