I'm 12 years old, can i wear colored contacts? If i can't, how old do i have to be?
There is no age limit for contact lenses, in special cases even children can be fit with contact lenses. The deciding factor would be are you responsible enough to abide by the proper wear and care of contact lenses? Also do you practice good hygiene? It is very important when you wear contact lenses to always clean, disinfect and store them in a clean case with fresh solution after every time you wear them. Also always wash your hands thoroughly with a mild soap and dry them completely before you even think about touching your eyes or contacts. You also have to make sure you wear them for how long it is recommended to wear them. Over wearing contacts could result in damage to your eyes and leaves you more susceptible to an eye infection If you think you are ready and responsible enough to care for the contacts and wear them appropriately then go for it :) Just make an appointment with your eye doctor for a contact lens fitting :) They will fit you for contacts, train you on how to care for them and put them in/out of your eyes and start you with trials to make sure they are working for you :) Good luck :)

How old do you have to be to wear coloured contacts?
One of the problems that eye care professionals have to deal with is how to explain to parents that children can also wear contact lenses and that this will not harm their eyes. Contact lens wear is not an matter of age. After several studies that were made during the last few years practitioners agree that in order for a child to be able to wear contact lenses he or she should be at least ten years old. There are of course a few exceptions as well when the child is recommended to wear contact lenses because of an illness of the eye that cannot be treated with simple glasses. In these cases children are allowed to wear contact lenses after a very careful examination. Children wear contact lenses for fundamentally the same reasons as adults: to see well or to look better. Children can wear all kind of contact lenses but the soft ones are more preferred. In most cases, soft contact lenses are more comfortable and are easier for the eye to adapt to. They do necessitate more scrupulous care and tend to wear out sooner than rigid contact lenses but their advantage is that they do not pop out or move around on the eye like other lenses do. In order for children to be able to wear contact lenses parents should take them to the nearest eye care doctor and have and eye examination. It is not recommended to wear contact lenses without a prescription even if those lenses are for cosmetic use only. Some children use contact lenses only to change the color of their eye but they do not know that even for this they require a prescription. If parents have decided to allow their children to wear contact lenses instead of glasses they have to explain their kids that contacts entail a meticulous care. Parents have to give details to their offspring regarding how to clean a contact lens and how to insert it. Children should also know all the details about the lenses they are wearing whether it is a daily, weekly or a monthly lens and if he can sleep with it. Parents should clarify all these with their children because even the slightest mistake can cause huge problems. Thanks to the changes that occurred during the years regarding contact lenses, more parents are switching their children's eyeglasses with contacts. With the suitable choice of contact lens, regular follow-up many children are able to successfully continue to wear their contact lenses long into their grown-up lives.
Are contacts more comfortable these days than they were 10 years ago?
I use to always be able to feel my contacts when I first started wearing them. Now they have even thinner and more breathable lenses that are awesome. I wear the O2 Optics now and love them. The ones that I wore before were FreshLook, and those were the ones I could feel all the time. You should get a trial pair from your doctor. They will normally let you try however many you would like until you find one you are happy with.
