I got contacts when I was 14 and have been wearing them 30 years

It depends on the type of contacts, and also when you get approval from your parents (or if your old enough to decide yourself.)

It depends if you have the flexiblity to touch your eye. I had that fear for many years and I could not do it until now. I will be 42 in Aug and started wearing them one month before my birthday. I overcame my fear because I wanted to learn how to swim and I am very nearsighted. I won't be able to see anything without a pair of glasses. A few years ago, my glasses broke and I had nothing to back it up. I suffered a day being blind and I did not want to go through that again. Also, the person in charge of filling my glasses prescription told me that my lens will be bigger then my face. NO one will see me since I am a small person. That was when I decided to get contacts and love them.
