Contacts!?

Question

I had glasses since the 3rd grade I am now in 5th grade I had worn 4 different glasses the most recent one I am wearing is my only favorite but it is kinda big and it always falls so I leave it there then I get a tan and it kinda looks funny I started to put some sun block and there is still a tan I am think about getting contacts what's the risk? and thing about them bad?

Answer 1

Personally I love contacts. I guess risks could be eye infections, but that is extremely rare (if you do not clean your contacts). Contacts are comfortable most of the time and after you get used to them you do not even realize they are there (sometimes I almost fall asleep with them in). The downsides are the dryness of the contacts and having to clean them and maintain them. Also sometimes they rip or sometimes I get a pair that just is extremely uncomfortable because it has dirt on it or a small tear. Just depends on the person. I like contacts.

Answer 2

Contact lenses are great, however do have a lot of bad points. A lot of people experience uncomfort when wearing lenses for 8hours+. also most lens wearers eyes are red when wearing them for long periods. They are also alot more expensive than glasses. (in the long run)

Answer 3

Answer 4

Contacts are very safe and have been used for years.  The thing with younger children wearing them is they tend to not take proper care of them.  You need to clean them properly and always wash your hands before touching them or your eyes.  If you feel you are up to the responsibility then you shouldn' t have problems. The biggest problem from wearing them are infections from them being unclean

Answer 5

well, contacs are not bad at all. i am 14 and i have them, i was so scared to get them, but now its easypeasy. dont worry at all. once you get used to something as thin as it being in your eye, you will wonder why you worried. contacs take about a week to get used to. maybe even sooner. sont fret you want to be able to see around you while you tan. there is no risk. make sure you clean your hands before removing and putting them in.  you will do great!
