Of course yes. With my own experience, in my child hood, I am always called with "Four-eyes" "Specs". I thought it is a kind of insult. Recently, a study shows that kids who need prescription eyewear are still often left wishing that they could leave their glasses behind. And research shows it may improve their self-esteem to do so and children between ages of 8 and 11 that found that kids who wore contacts instead of glasses had significantly higher self-esteem, especially girls because they rest right on the eye, rather than on the bridge of the nose, contact lenses offer better vision correction than glasses. Better vision might be the reason that kids feel more confidence both in school and on the ball field. Kids also might be more willing to play sports when wearing contacts rather than glasses that could break, fall off, or get lost.
