What To Expect
KIDS AND TEENS
For an older child who really doesn't want to wear glasses, contact lenses are a good option. Kids typically have to wait until they are teenagers to get contact lenses though. Younger children usually aren't thought to be responsible enough to put them in, take them out, clean, and disinfect their lenses without their parents help.
One study concluded that kids from age eight to eleven years are able to independently care for daily disposable contact lenses and wear them successfully. Anderson Eye Care does suggest that these younger children be prescribed daily disposable contact lenses so that they do not have to clean and disinfect their lenses each day.
