It's probably not a good time to start. A person who has successfully worn contacts for years would have no reason to stop at that age. I have one patient over 80 who still wears contacts.

Sure. My husband is 70 and wears his daily. The only caveat is if you have age-related dry eye. Contacts are not comfortable for people with this condition.

It might take awhile to get used to, but should be ok. Why not stick to glasses though?

Sure. Donald Trump wears contacts and he's 71. Ronald Reagan wore them and he was even older than Trump.

Yes. If the contacts are prescribed and fitted by an eye doctor, there's no reason someone 65 or older can't wear contacts.
