Answer 2

yeah, i guess so

Answer 3

Duh

Answer 4

yes, i am 14, and wear contacts just about every day to school.

Answer 5

um... if lenses refers to contact lenses, its fine.

you've gotta go the eye doctor and get him/her to gie you approval.

and your parents...

but keep the glasses for the days you don't wanna haveta deal with contacts, like days when you're hanging out around the house....

Answer 6

Yes.  I hate wearing glasses, so when I was in school, I'd just be "blind" all day.  I wear my contacts 24/7.  The more you wear them, the more comfortable they get.

Answer 7

Hey, I was in the same situation.  One thing to think about is science class.  If chemicals splash into your eyes the contact lens can fuse to your eye.  Thankfully it never happened to me but I lost count of how many time it was mentioned to me in school and in college.  Maybe you could wear your glasses on days when you have practical work in lab.

Hope this helps.

Answer 8

uh yeah.

Answer 9

I don't see why not.

I've been wearing them everyday since I was about 12.

Answer 10

Do you mean contact lenses?  Sure..it's fine.  My daughter got them at 12.

Answer 11

Before i learnt to love my glasses i was told that i couldn't have contacts under 16 unless you did contact sport, i don't know if that was true or not but i like wearing glasses now. I'm so used to them i don't like the way i look without them. Why would this be a problem if you can get hold of them wear them.

Answer 12

Contacts?  Sure if you pay for them.

Answer 13

Why wouldn't it be.

This is a really silly question

Answer 14

You need to talk to your optician - some people can wear lenses all the time at that age, some need to give their eyes a "day off" every so often, some can never wear them. It depends on your eyes (not your vision, but things like how dry they are naturally).

Answer 15

Yeh if you want to wear them then wear them.

Answer 16

i wouldnt see why not! talk to your parents about contacts that you can wear comfortably!
