There is no minimum or maximum age which limits wear. Children adapt very quickly even as young as 6. There are so many advantages for children wearing i-GO OVC lenses. The most exciting news is that new research (the 'SMART' study in the US) may indicate that wearing OVC lenses as a child can halt or even reverse early signs of myopia. The lenses act like a retainer holding the eye in the correct shape as they grow. Many children are self-conscious about wearing prescription glasses and this can affect their participation and confidence in sport and other activities. Parents also have total control of their child's vision as the lenses are inserted and removed at home. So you can be sure that your child has not removed or broken their glasses or lost a lens.
