Hey All,
As promised today we are going to talk
about contact lenses. This one is very near my heart as eyes and eyesight is
huge for me. You see I was born blind due to cataracts and after several
surgeries when I was very young, I can see almost perfect with the help of
glasses today.
There are several companies out there that
sell contact lenses and some are not what the appear. Some companies claim they
have fantastic products but really for very cheap they are selling you a
plastic disc that can leave you permently blind or with a serious injury.
Number 1 here – DO YOUR RESEARCH – if they
are selling you a pair that everywhere else you saw for $50 but instead only
for $20 beware. Is the company approved for sale in Canada? Have they been
approved by the FDA? Are they expired? Yes contacts have expiry dates.
Number 2 – NO ONE except an Optomitrist or
Opthomoligist can sell prescription contact lenses, even the fun coloured ones.
Do not buy them.
Number 3 – Can you touch the white part of
your eye with your finger tip? If you answered no or were grossed out, contacts
are not for you. You need to bring your finger into your eye to put them on and
off, so if you can’t even toch your eye don’t waste your money.
Number 4 – CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN – This means
your hands before you put them in or take them out, the lenses themselves
before and after they have been in your eyes and make sure there is fresh clean
solution in the case everytime you put them away.
