There is no age limit for wearing contact lenses. How old a child can wear contact lenses depends on the child's ability to wear them independently, take off the glasses and care for the lenses. Some foreign children wear contact lenses from the age of 8, while most domestic teenagers wear them from the age of 13. Because at this age, teenagers begin to care about their performance.
Here is a message to prove that contact lenses are harmless to children:
Soft contact lenses will not affect eye development.
Made in Lauderdale, April 28, 2008
Up to now, the largest sample size of myopia clinical experiment: comparing the effects of frame glasses and contact lenses in correcting myopia.
484 people, 8- 1 1 year, 3 years.
Conclusion:
There is no clinical difference in myopia development, axial length and corneal curvature between the two groups.
The other is a very sensitive age issue, which I hope will help: how old is it to wear?
Mature experience abroad:
USA: 13.8 years old
Japan: 14.3 years old
Practice has proved that young age is not a taboo condition for CL, but in fact it is feasible and safe to wear CL according to children's scientific norms, which has high clinical application and promotion value.
Dr. Ft Lauderdale believes that 8-year-old children have enough ability to take off contact lenses and take care of them daily.
Two, teenagers wear contact lenses, from the safety considerations must pay attention to the following points:

Three, contact lenses and heart stents are the same grade of medical equipment, please choose carefully:
For the sake of eye health, the wearer should choose the products registered by the Food and Drug Administration and obtained the medical device registration certificate. First-time wearers are advised to consult an ophthalmologist or a qualified optometrist in an optical shop to find out whether they are suitable for wearing contact lenses. They will recommend different products suitable for different wearers according to your eye size parameters/eye health status/optometry degree.
