Today, contact lenses are available for a wide range of vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. There are also multifocal lenses to help those with presbyopia (vision problems that occur with age) achieve crisp, clear vision for distant objects as well as for reading. While many teens enjoy the boost of confidence contacts lenses can provide, it’s generally a good idea to make sure the person who’s wearing the lenses is old enough and responsible to take proper care of their lenses to avoid potential problems like an infection that can arise from improper wear or poor cleaning habits.
