You’re in exactly the same situation as me. I’m 14 as well.

The only difference is I have just started wearing them. About 3/4 weeks ago I think, I use the daily ones (Focus Dailies). I only use them for sports and special occasions though.

They are great, it’s like a whole new world.

And as long as you’re mature enough to use them responsibly and know how to care for them, there is no age limit for when to start wearing them.

So no, I don’t suppose it is ‘bad’ to wear contacts if you’re only 14.

Message to ‘Nick’:

Contact lenses are NOT shaped to the wearers eyes. Everybody’s eyes are exactly the same, they never grow. So a baby’s eyes are the same size as an adult’s eyes. The shape and curvature of the lenses remains the same, it’s only the strength that changes.

Not at all!
I have friends who’ve had contacts since they were seven!
Personally, I like glasses and I think they’re adorable but if you want contacts you should definatly get them.

No, that is around the time I tried them out and gave up glasses for good.

haha, wellll.
I’m 14, and i have the daily Oasis contacts.
I heard that if you wear contacts your eyes begin to get weaker because they get lazy from the lenses correcting them.
If you have good hygine, sterilize them every night and take a couple day breaks (like you said) then you should be fine.

they make everything easier for me =]

of course not! it doesn't matter if you're responsible. I know kids who wear contact lens and they are just 9 year old.

No. A lot of my friends have contacts and they are 14ish. Just don't fall asleep with them on because then you will have bloodshot eyes the next morning.
