Will you be able to handle contact lenses in your daughter? If not it would be better to keep her on glasses till she is old enough to handle it herself. Extended wear contact lenses can be worn for 16 hours a day. However there are other lenses that can be worn for a month at a stretch and then discarded. However chances of infection are more with these lenses. You need to consult your ophthalmologist what would be best for your daughter and decide accordingly.
