I am 12 and want to get rid of my glasses!?
I am 12 and I have had glasses since I was about 6 or 7. People say I look better without glasses and I think so too. I can’t get laser eye surgery, I’m way too young. I’m in the UK so I have to be over 20! to get laser eye surgery. I have read other answers to questions similar to this, and a girl said I can get contacts at the age of 12. I am in the UK and I can not have contacts till I am 16. Actually, I’m not to sure. My eye doctor thing that I go to is Specsaveres, and I am NOT moving. I love Specsavers, I have been going to them since I was 6/7. I’m not sure what glasses number I am. I need to find out. I really want to get rid of my stupid glasses. No links to any websites please, or no-one saying its not possible, because there has to be away I could get rid of them. Maybe some techniques or exercises maybe? Please help anyone. All answers appreciated 
You do not have to wait until you are 16 to get contacts. My daughter had contacts at the age of 4 weeks old, she wore them until she was 8months old and got wriggly then had glasses. She’s 13years old now and just starting to think about going back into contacts. One of her friends has had contacts since she was 11, you can have contacts at any age and I’m in the UK.
Specsavers should be able to help you with contacts, if they can’t then they should be able to put you in touch with someone who can, if they can’t do either then their not doing their jobs properly.
But to be honest putting contact lense’s into a 12 year old is no different to putting them into an adult, your eyes are all the same size, your eyes are full size when your born so it makes no difference.
But you can have contacts at any age, my daughter is living proof of that and if anyone tells you otherwise their lying.

just tear out your eye balls, then you won’t need glasses will you?

Well Martha it all depends how week your eyesight is.well if you can’t go for laser surgery then the best way to keep your eyes healthy is to go for yoga.consult some yoga specialist and he/she will guide you in some or the other way.there is a certain cure in yoga. so all the best.
