Hey
there~ How has everyone been? i’m back to share more about Astigmatism as i feel
it is truly important and because i’ve personally experienced the
transformation of having clear healthy vision!
i mentioned
in my previous post that i was
diagnosed with Astigmatism at a young age. At that time, it didn’t seem like an
issue since both my dad and brother also have it.
As i got
older, my blurry vision started to annoy me really badly. For instance, my
spectacles would start to fog up and slip off my nose when I jog. However, without
my spectacles, i had to constantly strain my eyes for “clearer vision”, and
this gave me bad headaches. So, i decided to ditch my spectacles when a friend
introduced me to the world of contact lenses.
Back
then, i didn’t know what types of contact lenses were available to me. Being a student,
i naturally opted for the cheaper contact lens option. Though they did help by
correcting my blurred vision, the cheap contact lenses really affected my eye health.
i’ll tell you why below:
-
Irritated eyes due to dryness
-
Caused watery eyes, sharp pains and
eye infections
-
Was a hassle to keep track of monthly
disposable contact lenses and clean/store them properly
In
the end, i spent more money on consulting doctors for my infected eyes than
what I saved by opting for cheaper contact lenses.
Thankfully,
i had a proper eye check conducted for me by an Eye Care Professional a few months
ago.
So….what
is a comprehensive eye check and what does it do for you?
A comprehensive
eye check includes checking the health and condition of your eyes, not just eye
power. After the eye check, i was recommended 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM by the eye care professional. That
was really the best thing that happened to my eyes!
For
the first time in my life, i was tear-free for a day with 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM! i’m not exaggerating! i couldn’t believe it myself either. Wearing
the right contact lens really gives you healthier eyes and saves you a lot of
unnecessary trouble.
Did you know that more than half of astigmatic
contact lens wearers are not wearing the right contact lenses to correct their
astigmatism? Many young people also do not realise
that they have astigmatism. i strongly encourage all of you to get your eyes checked
by an eye care professional before deciding on the contact lenses you want to
purchase.
i have
proudly beat the blur with 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM, my healthier lens of choice with
ACUVUE Triple Care – Moisture, Oxygen and UV Protection – they keep your eyes HEALTHY
and COMFORTABLE all day, every day!
