I think as long as she is responsible enough for the cleaning and her parents approve, it should be fine. I have been thinking about getting contacts but they just barely came out with the type I can wear (hopefully). But I kind of like glasses, they look stylish. But back when I was a teenager they sure didn't, now the selection is much better.

Glasses now can be a real fashion accessory. With some of the deals out there you can even get more than one pair. But if contacts are it, then just make sure she is mature enough for the care and handling. You don't want eye infections. I actually didn't get my 1st pair until I was 20.
