Question

i don't know what it is called the ones that help you see better without glasses

i don't know so i just put it on health

Answer 1

yeah a 12 year old can wear contacts. just be sure you're ready for it. you always have to keep them clean, and dispose of them at the right time, so you don't get an eye infection.  

Answer 2

yeh you can one of my friends is your age and she wears contacts the only thing you have to do is remember to clean an remove them at times.

Answer 3

Yes you can. You also have to be sure that you can wear them and see if you have astigmatism which means that your cornea is misformed. I'm 11 and right now I can't wear contacts beacause my astigmatism is right in the middle and they do not make any because it is not bad enough or good enough but I think that it got worse so I can probably wear them now. I would recomment Acuvue Oasys Contact Lenses or Provision Premium.

Answer 4

Due to your age, one should be able to spell "wear" instead of "were",before they are allowed to beg their parents for contacts.

Answer 5

I got them when I was 11.  Go for it!

Answer 6

As long as you're responsible and don't lose things all the time and are neat, I see no reason why not.  I got mine at age 13. You may be thinking of Lasik, which is surgery to correct vision.   I don't know how old you have to be for Lasik surgery.

You were wondering about which category is best for this question. Actually, "Optical" would be best.  It's a sub-category, also  under "Health." But you got excellent answers here, unless you want to talk about Lasik.  Then I'd go to "Optical."

Bless you and good luck!  :)

Answer 7

Yes, a 12 year old could wear contacts but, it could be a little more challenging for you to put them in since you're younger. The older a person gets, the more control they have over their eyes. If I were you, I'd just wait a couple more years before trying them.
