Contact lenses for teens

We all go through many changes in our teens – and sometimes this can include our vision. To make sure your eyes are healthy, you need to get an eye examination every year. Teens have their own vision needs which are often different from children or adults. It might be time to think about contact lenses if:

Your glasses slide down your nose when you run or play sport
You are having trouble seeing the blackboard in your classrooms
You’re outside all the time and you need to wear sunglasses
It’s hard to focus on a computer screen, book or other up-close work
You've just got your driving license and want to make sure you have good vision
You think you look better and more like yourself – without glasses
Contact lenses can suit people of many different reasons.

For more information about teens using contact lenses, take a look at the teen page on the Acuvue website.

Contact lenses for adults

While most eye care issues remain the same throughout our lives, others can change – just as we do:

Some teens and young adults may experience tired eyes from hours of study or working in front of a computer for long periods of time
Middle-aged adults may develop presbyopia (the need for reading or bifocal glasses)
Elderly people may develop dry eyes, glaucoma or cataracts

For contact lens advice as we get older, please look at the "Lenses for all Ages" page on the Acuvue website.
