What age should I start using contact lenses?

There is no minimum age to start using contact lenses.

Many people start using contact lenses when they are still teenagers.

However, some very small children may be mature enough to use and look after their lenses. Successful use of the lenses depends more on responsibility and attitude than age.

There are even lenses specially designed for children.

Your ophthalmologist can help you decide if contact lenses are suitable for you or one of your children and will help you choose the best contact lenses for your vision correction needs.
