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.
Even if you have worn contacts for years, an examination for a contact lens wearer takes more of the doctorâs time. For someone who wears contacts, there are additional measurements that the doctor needs to take, and the fit of the lenses needs to be evaluated on the eye to ensure that the eye is healthy.
