Contact Lenses and Sports
Unlike glasses, contact lenses offer freedom, comfort and enhanced performance while playing sports. Whether you're a professional athlete, enjoy playing football, tennis or cricket with friends, or like to go for a run every morning, your eyesight has the potential to make or break your game plan. According to the BCLA, “Whatever your chosen sport or level, wearing the best form of vision correction can help you achieve the best possible performance and enjoyment.”
What are Cataracts?
Maintaining good eye health is crucial for promoting long-term vision and overall quality of life, particularly as we age. Cataracts are one of the most common age-related eye conditions, which cause the natural lens of the eye to become cloudy, leading to distorted or blurry vision. Those who are curious to learn what are cataracts and how they affect vision should go through this guide and discover everything about them, ranging from what causes cataracts to their treatment and cataract symptoms to their types.
How to Clean and Store Soft Contact Lenses
Soft contact lenses are a convenient and effective way of correcting vision. To ensure they remain comfortable and hygienic, it's essential to clean and store them properly. Apart from daily contact lenses, all lenses must be cleaned and stored carefully, as they are meant for multiple wears. Tina Patel, Contact Lens Optician at Feel Good Contacts, says, “Failing to properly clean your reusable contacts, such as monthlies and two-weeklies, can cause several eye problems, including eye infection, inflammation of the cornea, redness, irritation and even vision loss. This is why it’s essential to follow a thorough contact lens cleaning process to ensure clear vision and promote good eye health in the long term.
