Eye - All about contact lenses
You are in: Health24 > Medical > Condition centres > Eye > All about contact lenses
At what age can I begin to wear lenses?
Created: Sunday, April 07, 2002
The variety of lenses available means that more people are able to wear them than ever before. But can someone be too young to wear lenses?

While youngsters may need help putting their lenses in and taking them out, there’s no reason for them not to wear contacts if they need to. Some premature babies are born with eye trouble and are given contacts.

Obviously you should see an eye care professional before trying contact lenses.
