Stop Contaminating your Contact Lens Cases

All your efforts of keeping your circle lenses free from bacteria accumulation have been just a waste provided your contact lens cases are contaminated/ not replaced on timely basis. Cases of contact lenses need similar disinfection that your contact lenses go through. Ignorantly, most of the contact lens wearers are involved in bad hygienic practices that increase the risks of contamination in contact lens cases as revealed by a study published in February issue of Optometry and Vision Science, official journal of the American Academy of Optometry

3 Hygiene Practices Linked with Contact Lens Case Contamination

The study assessed habits of 119 contact lens wearers against their provided used cases of contact lenses. Three hygienic habits were claimed to have been closely knitted with contamination in contact lens cases.

1. Abstaining from washing hands with soap & water

Patients who avoid washing hands before handling contact lenses with soap & water were at higher risk of contaminating the cases of contact lenses. The best way to reduce the risk is to every time wash your hands properly with soap, as washing only with tap water do not make a difference.

2. Abstaining from air-drying contact lens cases

Chances of bacteria accumulation are higher when the contact lens cases are not allowed to air dry before storing contact lenses. Cases must always be put to air-drying with lids off and faces down. Water carries microorganisms that may attract the floating bacteria in air. Another study previously suggested that “Rub, Rinse, Tissue-wipe & Air dry” is the best pragmatic approach to keep cases free from harmful bacteria accumulation.

3. Using mismatched contact lens cases & disinfectants

Contamination was increased when patients used cases & disinfecting solutions from different manufacturers. Cases that come with your contact lenses are only to save you from agony. Therefore, get your FDA approved contact lens cases asap.

There are other risks factors involved such as continuing to use your contact lens cases for more than 3 months or failing to replace your contact lenses past the expiry.

"Lens cases play an essential role in disinfection of contact lenses," comments Anthony Adams, OD, PhD, Editor-in-Chief of Optometry and Vision Science. "However, without proper maintenance, the lens case itself may become contaminated with micro-organisms during handling".

Geolica Eyevelyn Circle Lenses with UV Protection

Did you know that long exposure to sun can be more damaging to your eyes than skin? We never forget to slather heavy layers of sunblock before going out but only few geniuses will actually pay attention towards eyes. If you are vigorously involved in outdoor activities; you must take eye care seriously. Wear protective eye wear such as UV Protection contact lenses to keep your vision sharp & eyes healthy round the year.

What Geolica Eyevelyn Contact Lenses can do for UV Protection?

UV Blocker Contact Lenses

Geolica Eyevelyn contact lenses offer higher oxygen permeability, moisture retention, advanced resistance of bacteria adhesion & interception of harmful UV rays. Since they are made from bio-compatible silicone hydrogel material; they keep eyes comfortable whilst ensuring maximum protection from harmful sun rays.

Also Read:3 Reasons Why You should Wear Geolica Eyevelyn Contact Lenses?

Protection from sun rays is crucial more in winter than summer. Snow reflects 80% of the sun rays whilst beach reflects 15%. Staying at beach to tan your body or a visit to steeper slopes for skiing pose threats to eyes. Science says that unprotected exposure to sunlight for longer duration increases the risks of “photokeratitis” in later years of life. Constant exposure to sun may damage your vision, produce itching sensation/burning & redness.

Sportsmen more Prone to UV Radiation Damage

Sportsmen should concentrate more on prevention against UV rays. If you spend more than half of your day in skiing, hiking, riding, marathons etc then take strong preventive measures. Wearing contact lenses with UV blockers intercept great deal of harmful rays and block them before they reach your eyes to damage the retina.

Enlarging Big Eye Circle Lenses : ICK Garnet Circle Lenses

ICK Contact Lenses

ICK brand of contact lenses and circle lenses is yet another Korean brand, been striving since 2008 to keep constructing circle lenses in compliance with quality assurance & health parameters. ICK contact lenses aim to make pupil more distinct by adding natural color pattern to your eyes.

ICK Garnet red, Elegant violet & Animate grey circle lenses add new dimensions to your eyes by making them look dolly & alluring. The enlarging effect is adorable since the pattern is natural yet these lenses help your eyes stand out. 

ICK Garnet Red

The color is lovely because, to me, it is not a too bright of a red that people will be afraid of. The thick dark rim on the outside of the circle really helps with the enlarging effect. Plus, the different shade of thin red lines that strikes into the middle makes it more natural. (If red is what you call natural. haha) What I mean is that the Garnet Red has a more pleasing look to it. 

ICK Elegant Violet

The design of the circle lenses is a thin dark black rim that is not fully filled, thus giving it a smoother transition from the whites of your eyes. Even the inside of the purple has lines that meet up in to form a circle in the middle of the lenses.

ICK Animate grey

It is really lovely. On my dark brown eyes the grey shows up nicely. I have received a lot of compliments on these.  For all ICK type of contacts I have, I just need a little bit of eyeliner to have my eyes appear natural with the circle lenses.

" It is gorgeous and really thick. It's not shiny at all and it looks really natural. This is my only natural looking wig and I'm super happy with it ! *^* (The only thing I'm not sure If I like yet is actually the curls. They're just inbetween no curls and alot of curls. But that's my personal taste in wigs that makes me kind of doubt it sometimes, haha."

Short Bob Cosplay Wig: Yoh Tomoe Wig

The wig comes in rich red color. The wine red Yoh Tomoe cosplay wig is a lovely short bob wig that touches just the chin and frames face nicely. The wig would need slight styling at bangs to adjust your face, otherwise it is ready to wear right out of the box. 

The wig is shiny and straight. It is a name of quality & needs minor maintenance. It does not shed much hair fibers therefore it remains the hot favorite of all having an interest for bob wigs. 

"I think this is a really nice wig. Soft, not too shiney, no loose hairs. It does have a little bit of the pointy top thing that a lot of short wigs have, but I think you’d get that with most wigs (at least I have). You could fix it with styling."- an excerpt from Spencer's review

Contact Lenses with Proper Compliance are proved to be a Safer Option for Vision Correction- Consensus in Singapore Reveals

Contact lenses- A safer mode of vision correction 

Singapore Contact Lens Society; comprised of professional ophthalmologists, is cognizant of the importance of constant monitoring in contact lens wearers. The society lays great emphasis on the regular contact lens follow-up for people using contact lenses for vision correction.

Ophthalmologists opine that contact lenses when followed by proper care regimen minimize the risk of infections. The society quoted a U.S study that reveals that the rate of infection induced by contact lenses is 13.9 in every 10,000 children whereas in adults it has astonishingly been reduced to zero percent. The study also reveals that there has not even been a single registered case of "contact lens related infection"; leading to permanent damage or vision loss.

The consensus further elaborates that contact lenses are safe mode of vision correction when followed by proper compliance. A clean, sterilized and FDA approved contact lens that is properly fitted ensures minimum to no risks. With proper hygiene, infections’ risk can be greatly reduced. Additionally, the follow-up sessions keep a sharp track on rising ocular abnormalities if any.

The society summarized the safe contact lens wear as follows:

1. Eyes should look good- free from redness
2. Eyes should feel good- free from itching
3. Eyes should see good- free from blurred or hazy vision

If you are an active wearer of contact lenses, keep monitoring how your eyes perform with and without them. In case, you notice an unusual secretion, itching or painful sensation; rush to your eye care professional. Follow contact lens care regimen religiously & prevent your eyes from seasonal or occasional infections that are more likely to hit people wearing contact lenses.
