A. Typically people start wearing contacts between the age of 11 and 13. Depending upon the person there is no limit to what age you can wear them to. We have people in their 80s who wear contacts. As we get older, our eyes tend to get drier, and it can be harder to wear contacts comfortably.
Just about everyone can wear contacts, even if you have astigmatism. Probably the biggest misconception is thinking that if you have astigmatism you can't wear contacts or you can't wear soft contact lenses and that hasn't been true for years and years. It's just a myth that keeps getting perpetuated.
