Can I use contact lens?

I have been using glasses since I was eight years old. Now I am 15 and I am tired of using glasses. I recently heard of contact lens. I want to know if I can also use this.

Yes, you can certainly use Contact Lens. Contact lenses are medical devices worn directly on the cornea of the eye. Like eyeglasses, contact lenses help to correct refractive errors and perform this function by adding or subtracting focusing power to the eye’s cornea and lens. Contacts provide a safe and effective way to correct vision when used with care and proper supervision. They can offer a good alternative to eyeglasses, depending on your eyes and your lifestyle. Over 24 million people in the United States now wear contact lenses. For certain conditions, contact lenses may be considered medically necessary. Many types of contact lenses are available. The type of contacts you use depends on your particular situation. Your optometrist will be able to help you choose the most appropriate type for you.
