Looking Good-Why Not?
August 18, 2009
How we feel about our appearance is as important as how we look to others. Most people have a favorite suit or dress which makes them feel particularly good about themselves. Putting it on inspires them with confidence and good feelings. The same is true with eyeglass fashions. Today we enjoy an incomparable choice among the kind of lenses we wear to correct vision. There are eyeglasses, hard contacts, soft contacts, and extended-wear contacts. For many of us, the final choice is simply a matter of taste, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Eyeglass styles have come a long way. Many are so attractive and fashionable that people think they look better WITH glasses than without them. But if glasses are not your “bag”, you should consider contact lenses. They allow you to look and feel more natural, more “yourself”. Contacts give you the confidence and freedom to express your true personality. They not only look good, they FEEL good.
Contact Considerations
August 18, 2009
Contact lenses
are a way of life for 25 million Americans. If you are thinking about joining the ranks, here are some considerations.
Follow instructions on handling and caring for lenses. Use the solutions and disinfection system that your eye doctor recommends. Don’t mix different brands of solutions.
Follow up with regularly scheduled eye exams, including tests for glaucoma, cataracts and retina evaluation. If you choose extended-wear lenses, be extremely careful to follow your doctor’’s instructions to the letter.
Take precautions. Not all persons selling contact lenses are licensed to provide contact lens care. The contact lenses should be fitted by an eye doctor. The doctor should be the one to follow you on a regular basis to ensure that the cornea stays healthy. The doctor’s office staff should provide in-depth instruction on inserting,
removing, and caring for the lenses.
