Answer 3

it really depends on how mature your child is.

Answer 4

I'm not sure about the age limit, but I started wearing contacts at 13.  

Answer 5

It depends. I started wearing contacts at 11. The day I got them was the hardest because the doctor made me practice putting them in and out a few times. Once I got the hang of it, it was okay, but in retrospect, I'm so glad they made sure I was comfortable with it before sending me home with them. As long as you think they can handle taking care of them it should be fine.  

Answer 6

Answer 7
