First time contact lenses

Are you fed up of all the hassles that come with spectacles? Are you keen on trying contact lenses but have a lot of doubts regarding them? For instance – how to wear them correctly?

Such questions are obvious if you are trying on contact lenses for the first time. However, with proper precaution and care, you can enjoy all the benefits of contacts without any hassles.

Blurry vision and migraine

An American Migraine Study conducted in 1999 says that in the U.S., 38 million people are living with migraines, out of which 44% people suffer from migraines due to vision changes and blurred vision.

It’s normal for our vision to deteriorate as we age. However, not many people realize that their eyesight may have gone from bad to worse with age.

Eye Irritation due to Contact lens

Contact lenses are safe and convenient, but they bring along quite a few minor annoyances.

Dry eyes in winter

It comes as no surprise that the winter season transforms the outside world. It also makes us switch up our daily routines to prepare for the necessary changes that winter brings in.

However, when the chilling effects of the colder months are in full swing, your wardrobe is not the only change you need to make to prepare for the winter. Winters affect our bodies and health too. You need to be prepared for this change too.

Eye problems associated with eye makeup

“A woman without paint is like food without salt.”
– Platus
For centuries, cosmetics have played a crucial role in beautifying women. One of the features that women love to enhance is their eyes. In ancient times, Egyptian women applied dark green color to their under the lid and soot or antimony to darken their lashes and upper eyelids. Times have changed and so are the makeup trends.

The Rise in Ozone Pollution

Ozone pollution increases in warmer temperatures. Smog that is formed on warm, sunny days is a mix of toxic chemicals and gases emitted from vehicles and industrial plants. The pollution level has risen to such a high level that it is affecting millions of Americans. Some of the health concerns reported are asthma, lung cancer, premature death, cardiovascular disease, and developmental and reproductive damage.
