Help persuading parents!!
i am 15 and have been wearing glasses for about 2 and 1/2 years. I am going to greece with my school in the summer and i really want to get contacts before i go! My dad wears glasses as well, and he said i could get contacts, but my mum thinks im too young!
couple of questions:
how do i persuade my mum to let me get contacts??
my glasses strength is -1.5 and -1.25 (but i think i need stronger glasses,) is this strong enough to get contactts??

I have seen patients as young as 8 years old wear contact lenses. Your prescription is a good prescription for contact lenses.
Contact lenses are easy to care for, and the newest contacts made from a material called silicone hydrogel, which allows ample oxygen to the eye during wear.
Contacts increase the chances of an eye infection, but only if you do not care for your lenses properly. All you have to do is take your lenses out nightly, rub them with solution to clean them, and store them in a case of solution for at least 6 hours overnight. You also should throw away your contacts as often as your doctor says to.
I think if you can convince your mother that you are responsible enough to care for your contacts, you have a shot!
