Yeah, I am 12 and I have worn glasses for a year. I didn't mind them at first, but I do now. I usually don't wear them except for in some classes at school, but my parents say I can get contacts when I turn 13!

I wear glasses I barley got them last Thursday,and I'm ALREADY used to them.I kinda Like them .

I'm like the opposite. My family wants me to get contacts, but I am really self-consious about my nose, and I think my glasses kind of balance my nose out. Plus, I love trying on diffrent types of frames and being able to just put them on in the morning!

i am 12 and i have had contacts for a few months... they are kind of annoying but worth it because i hate my glasses. they do not ruin your eyes and they are perfectly safe if you clean them regularly. yes, they are a huge responsibility, but you get used to it.

i really want contacts ive had my glasses scince i was in first grade too. i mean i dont think they want to let me but i mean i dont want to have to wait intill 18 to get them. i guess they think that im not resposible or some thing. Contacts might not work for me though scince i have those dark bags under my eyes. i just hope they let me sometime soon. My parents are really nice but they just wont let me do a lot of stuff like contacts getting and my ears pirced. ill i can do is hope anyway i kinda want them because i think my glasses make me look ugly

oh my gosh i really want contacts. I'm 11 and i dont like glasses. i got them when i was in 1st grade so i have pretty much been stuck with them my whole life. My glasses are ok but i really dont like to wear them the whole day. They get so dirty and sometimes even give me a headache. I've asked about them before but my dad said that he didn' think i was responsible or something. What should i do????????? i also asked to get my ears pired and my mom acted like she didnt want me to do that. i mean do i have to wait intill im 18 to do everything.

contatcts are the best thing ever invented. and they do NOT damage your eye, the only way the can possibly damage your eye is if you sleep in them. so as long as you dont sleep in them, you are good. I love my contacts. love them.

I got contacts at age 12. That is like one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I look way prettier, my face looks skinnier and its easier to play sports (especially cheerleading) So i would really recomend contacts to everyone. They are nto that hard to put in or take out either. It only took me a week to get used to it.
sabrinacheer87 on 11/14/2009 1:31:33 AM
I am 13 and I wear contacts! They don't do anything bad to your eyes either. XOXO
pink86 on 11/13/2009 6:08:20 PM
i got my contacts 3 months ago i can tell u now da best chose i made for my eyes
mayte411 on 11/8/2009 10:40:42 PM
Contacts are completely fine, I've had them since I was 11 or 12. They are actually waay better than glasses with things other than appearance, - When it rains, you dont need to wipe your lenses every 5 seconds! - If say, a ball hits you in the face, it wont smash your lenses (Actually partly why I got contacts) And you CAN wear them in the shower and swimming (with goggles), I do it all the time
kayla111 on 11/4/2009 4:03:43 PM
Ive had contacts since i was 11 (im 13 now) they DEFFINETLY do not ruin your eyes. My mom at first didnt want me to get them cause she said i wasnt 'mature' enough. But then my dr (not eye doctor just my reg dr) told my mom i should get them so that changed my moms mind (thank GOD!) but as long as you have a cute pair of glasses i wouldnt worry about it yet.
xXoWoahoXx on 11/4/2009 2:33:46 PM
I have contacts and I am 13 yrs. old. They sooooooo do not ruin your eye sight. They take a little while to get used to though. I remember it took me a whole hour just to get both of them in at my appointment, so dont worry if its hard. You should just tell your mom that its easier to see with them b/c w/glasses you can kinda see blurry in your pererpheral vision just around the lens, and w/ contacts this does not happen. I would definately recommend them.

I started to wear glasses and contacts when I was 9 and I'm 11 now and I've never had a problem with it at all.
Bribri98 on 8/6/2009 3:37:37 AM
i got contacts when i was 12 and at first it was kinda hard but after about a week i was like a pro!
jessicamary on 7/31/2009 12:17:01 PM
i really want contacts
califgirl on 5/3/2009 7:39:19 PM
for your moms info.. wearing contacts slows down how fast your perscription changes. i wear contacts. i love them. you just have to make sure that you wash your hands before putting them in and that they are clean.
mmelanie on 4/13/2009 4:38:48 PM
when you clean your contacts your not supposed to rub them in a circular way or they'll rip..only rub in straight strokes. i have gray contacts BTW. contact lenses are really easy to put in and take out..if you say it's hard you must be not very good with hand - eye cordinates.
dolphin13 on 1/27/2009 10:53:13 PM
Im getting contacts when school is over. Im 14. I am blind without by glasses and they really annoy me. I give advice on my profile. see ya xoxo Katie
coolestsis on 1/18/2009 9:45:37 PM
I am 11 and I have contacts and they don't bug me a lot and I actually like them a lot!
gwentrent on 1/6/2009 4:57:31 PM
I just got contacts this summer and I'm fine with them but it takes me 4EVER to get them in, let alone when they tear in the middle and u have to go blind all day. So keep your glasses with you!
pg13as4now on 12/31/2008 4:20:35 AM
my parents just approved of me to get contacts. i asked 2 only get contacts 4 christmas and they said yes! i need 2 wait until may to get them though bcuz that's when my next appointment is. better then than never still. try asking ur parents nicely one more time for christmas or ur bday. also b patient if they say no and bring up disposable contacts when u ask. if u try these, it might show them ur responsible enough to take care of them. plus come up with some persuasive arguments. hope this helps!
Kgirl47 on 12/24/2008 2:30:55 AM
i have contacts and im 11. SNUFFYLVR- the person who said it hurts your eye probably has rigid or hard contacts. I have hard contacts and they can get lost in your eye. once, it was like in the back of my eye, so i started frenaking out and called my mom to help me. thank god she got it out. now it doesn't get lost in my eye because i can take them out easily.
Jen0119 on 11/7/2008 8:59:30 PM
i just got them and i got them in on my 1st try but that's because of genetics
xxfrankieroismyheroxx on 10/14/2008 10:22:01 PM
I am 14 and I am still not allowed to get contacts.
daisymae on 9/16/2008 8:29:53 PM
Buh-Bah on 9/15/2008 6:50:09 PM
Whoa, i never clean my contacts, i just change the solution every night. maybe i'll clean them more often, i didnt know it could scratch ur eye!! oh i just remembered had them in!!! cuz 2day @ the eye dr. i got a different material of contact lenses. they r sooo much better and arent drying out!!!
biker08chick on 9/13/2008 10:20:42 PM
ive had contacts since i was 12 i cant believe some people thought they could get lost in ur eye! and everyone always asks me if they hurt u cant even feel them! i have to change mine every 2 weeks but i can wear them when i shower or swim and i have REALLY sensitive eyes but i dont dare to open my eyes especially in pools or the ocean (tons of chlorine or salt water) i did lose one in the pool once but that was because i was rubbing them a lot i sliced my cornea once it hurts SOOOO!!!! badly! and then it got infected which made it worse just be careful when you take them out dont be careless and just yank them out which is how i sliced it
snuffylvr on 9/13/2008 10:04:49 PM
Oh, and friend, you might have keritosis pilaris, a completely harmless condition that's passed on parent to child. It's a build up of keratin in your pores and often shows up as small hard bumps that may or not be red. It often shows up on your upper arms, thighs, bottom, or sometimes face. You can go to your dermatologist to get a perscription lotion to treat.
Somebody on 9/11/2008 8:54:32 PM
I personally like glasses more. It takes a little while and you have to have a mirror to put your contacts in, and you can't take them off easily for when you don't need them. Like when I look at close up things I get a headache so I just take off my glasses.
Somebody on 9/11/2008 8:50:54 PM
i am 11 and i have contacts i was allowed to get them cuz i have good grades but if you want them just show your mom that you are responsable enough
StargirlWizard on 9/11/2008 8:27:30 PM
I have contacts and im 11. I like never wore my glasses cause I hate them so my parents let me get contacts like a month after I got my glasses
brunettee on 9/10/2008 4:32:22 PM
I just wear glasses...lol they are cute tho so i don't mind.
sparky4me on 9/10/2008 3:32:56 PM
i've had contacts since 4th grade. they're okay, but they break really easily. if you do ever get contacts, dont rub them 2 hard when u wash them.
morningglory888 on 9/8/2008 7:34:21 PM
i wanna wear contacts, its just that i cant handle the care for it and my family says i look better without glasses
dwtsfan on 9/6/2008 11:45:12 PM
hey i get hese little pimple/zits on my thighs i think it is because they rub together when i am all sweaty. i do gymnastics so it is really embarissing. i dont want them to show everytime i do a stradle or something,help!
friend on 9/6/2008 11:44:31 PM

jinxi on 9/6/2008 8:21:17 PM

PokaDots on 9/6/2008 3:53:55 PM
I started wearing contacts the summer before 4th grade... so I was 9, I think.

jenny on 9/5/2008 10:47:27 PM
It took me a while to get used I got them when I was 13. Unfortunatly I dont have many options for different types (like acue oasis and others like that) because my perscription is so weird, I have astigmatism and near or farsighted I dont know which. So I cant realy tell you which are better ect.
