Contact lenses at 14 and other questions?
Hello, I'm 14 and have worn glasses since I was 3. Now I'd like to wear contact lenses but I don't know anything about them except that in videos and pictures it looks like they hurt and I can't take them out. They slide next to my eye and turn when you turn your eye to the side. Can anyone give me more information about this, not just the ones I've put here? Thanks. What do you think about that age? Is it too young to be wearing them now? I think I look ugly with glasses.
I squint which means I see everything twice
Weiche Kontaktlinsen tun nicht weh und du spürst sie nicht auf dem Auge. Hinters Auge rutschen können Kontaktlinsen auch nicht und das Auf- und Absetzen geht mit ein wenig Übung sehr leicht. Ein Mindestalter für Kontaktlinsen gibt es nicht. Wichtig ist, dass du “reif genug” bist, verantwortungsvoll mit ihnen umzugehen, das heißt:
Contact lenses can also get young people at your age, there is no minimum age for wearing the lenses. Whether it’s going to be with the smart one, your ophthalmologist needs to explain. So get an appointment with your ophthalmologist.
And the doctor will also want to review/estimate:
Are you able to independently handle the lenses? Do you control the set-up and set-up? Does regular and careful care work? What about hygiene? All this will be discussed by the ophthalmologist.
If there are no problems from his medical point of view, you can then (!) for all your questions contact an optician/contact lens adaptor.
