Is your child ready?

It's more about mindset than age. If they're interested in contacts and responsible enough to handle things like chores and homework independently, it could be time to let your child give them a try.

Clear unobstructed vision

73% of teens said reactions to "my new look without glasses" was very positive.±

Ease of movement

65% of teens say contacts help them do better at sports.±

Replacement costs

Important information for contact lens wearers: ACUVUE Contact Lenses are available by prescription only for vision correction. An eye care professional will determine whether contact lenses are right for you. Although rare, serious eye problems can develop while wearing contact lenses. To help avoid these problems, follow the wear and replacement schedule and the lens care instructions provided by your eye doctor. Do not wear contact lenses if you have an eye infection, or experience eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, redness or other eye problems. If one of these conditions occurs, remove the lens and contact your eye doctor immediately. For more information on proper wear, care and safety, talk to your eye care professional, call 1-800-843-2020, or download the Patient Instruction Guides.
