Many teens who wear glasses are eager to start wearing contact lenses. For teens who feel self-conscious in their glasses, contact lenses can be a way to improve self-esteem. For others, it’s just a matter of convenience. Many athletes prefer contact lenses to glasses while playing sports

But many teens do not realize the responsibility that comes with wearing contact lenses. Lenses must be treated with care. Parents should make sure that prescriptions are current, and that lenses properly fit their teens. So regular eye exams from an optometrist are crucial for teens who wear contact lenses (or anyone else for that matter).

While some optometrists will recommend contact lenses for patients as young as 8 years old, most eye doctors recommend holding off till ages 11 to 14. Of course, every child is different.
