  • She was failing so hard.

  • It depends where you get the lense from. Some are more comfortable than others. I got 2 pairs from different places one was purple and the other green, and the gren ones were perfect. The purple ones hurt my eye though.

  • I got contacts today and i`m 13 and their comfortable. But when i put them on they irritate a lot but then they go to back to normal and stop hurting in jst a couple mins nd when i take them off they kinda hurt but they go bak to normal in like a minute

  • How are contacts for adults? I am 11, and just got mine a week ago. I love my contacts. I never feel them. I even forget that I have them in sometimes.

  • Actually yeah to the comment down there,

    Contact use , especially colored contacts ment for fashion only and not everyday use can cause pupil damage, or even retna detachment ! That's bad news, my dad had eye problems for a long time and his retna fell off in his eye, he had to get a crazy surgery where they sew your retna back to your eyeball :0

  • Seriously? Who says contact lenses are for adults only? The news is getting desprate.

  • You have to 13 to have a YouTube account. Coming from a guy who watches things...

  • I'll bet her mum puts the contact lenses on for her, because I can't imagine a nine year old doing that every morning

  • dont Contact lenses damage ur eyes when u wear at such a young age?

  • I wear them and im 13 i started wearing them when i was 11

  • i'm 13 and i really wanna wear em' . I already bought it but i'm too scared to put them in. This girl is just so relax O.O
