The Route to Crisp &
Healthy Vision
Hola fellow readers! i don't usually write lengthy posts but here's one that i feel the need to share.
Astigmatism. i'm pretty sure a number of
you have it and maybe some of you have it but don’t know about it. Or, you could
be wondering what this astigmatism thing is about…
Well basically, astigmatism
is a defect in the eye caused by deviation from spherical curvature, which
results in distorted images, as light rays are prevented from meeting at a
common focus. What this basically means is that you have blurry vision.
i was diagnosed with astigmatism
at a young age, and started wearing spectacles when I was around 6 years old. i
relied a lot on my glasses. However i tried on non-astigmatism contact lenses
in my post-secondary school days, but it was a really bad idea!
i was working
part-time in a retail shop and i decided to try wearing contact
lenses. Well they were so uncomfortable, my vision was blurry and they made my
eyes teary. it was so
frustrating and embarrassing as my customers would be a little stunned,
thinking that something bad had happened.
i have tried
many brands of contact lenses afterwards but none were comfortable and properly
corrected my vision. i kind of gave up, believing my eyes were just not meant
for contact lenses, and that they would stay like that forever. :(
Thankfully a
couple of months ago, i was given the opportunity to participate in the 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for
ASTIGMATISM 5-day consecutive trial program. An eye
examination appointment was scheduled for me and I
went there thinking that it was a usual check of eye power. Boy
was i wrong! i
found out that a proper professional eye examination not only tests your eye
power, but also the HEALTH condition
of your eyes. Trust me, knowing the condition of your eye health makes a big
difference.
The Eye Care
Professional showed me a chart of eye health with a rating from 1 to 5 (1 as
healthy and 5 as not healthy). My rating was between 3.5 – 4. Not good at all.
After analysing my eye
condition, i was prescribed with 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM. I was given 5
pairs of daily disposable contact lenses to try for 5
consecutive days as part of the trial process. After 5 days, i found hope for
my eyes! I was really surprised by how comfortable
my eyes felt. It was almost like I had a new pair
of eyes!
i could wear them for
the whole day and enjoy clear vision. My eyes weren’t dry
at all either and i no longer had to carry a contact lens case
and pair of spectacles to change into when the contact
lenses started to become uncomfortable. And
what i think is great about wearing daily disposable contact lenses is that not
only are they comfortable, they are also hygienic and healthy!
This greatly reduces the chances
of eye infections due to improper cleaning,
storing, or the inability to keep track of the expiration date
of my contact lenses.
Now that i have
experienced what it’s like to have crisp and comfortable vision, i strongly
recommend my readers go for a proper eye examination to understand eye health and
check for astigmatism before making a decision on which type of contact lenses
to purchase. You should also seek the Eye Care Professional’s advice and not
just wear any contact lenses, as they may actually
worsen your eye condition and vision instead of improving it.
