Should I let my 12 year old wear contacts?

Are Contact Lenses Safe for Kids?

Research indicates that contact lenses can be safe for children, especially those aged 8 to 12. Studies show that the likelihood of experiencing eye infections in children wearing soft contact lenses is lower compared to teenagers and adults. Among the various types, daily disposable soft contact lenses are considered the safest option, with an infection risk estimated at approximately 1 in 5,000 wearers each year.
