I am short-sighted, and I wear daily contact lenses on most days, which leave my eyes very dry. This has been an issue for many years now. Sometimes my eyes get really dry, I have to stick to wearing my glasses which I don’t really like because it will be too uncomfortable to wear my contact lenses. My eyes also struggle more during the winter months when the central heating is on and during the summer months when it gets really warm, as these conditions make my eyes even drier. For many years, I have been on the hunt for preservative-free eye drops to help relieve and hydrate my eyes. This is why I am super excited about my partnership with Bausch & Lomb, one of the world’s leading eye health companies.

The Artelac preservative-free eye drops range by Bausch & Lomb was sent to me some weeks ago, and I have been using them every day. The eye drops have really helped relieve my dry eyes and I love the fact they are all very easy to use. I can even use two of them (Artelac Every Day and Artelac Protect) with my contact lenses on.

I fell in love with the range as soon as I started using the eye drops. I have tried all sorts of eye drops over the years and I can say confidently that this range is the best I have ever tried.

PROS
  1. This is the eye drops range for anyone dealing with dry eyes, sore eyes, tired eyes, and itchy eyes. I experienced instant relief with these eye drops.
  2. I love the fact that I can use Artelac Every Day Eye Drops as often as I need.
  3. The range is preservative-free, which is great!
  4. It is great to finally have effective eye drops I can use while wearing my contact lenses. Artelac Every Day and Artelac Protect Eye Drops can be used with contact lenses.
  5. Artelac Night Eye Drops really moisturise my eyes overnight. It is now part of my bedtime routine. I use the eye drops few minutes before I sleep off and I wake up with moisturised eyes.
  6. The eye drops are easy to apply with the pump.
  7. I like the compact packaging. It is so easy to pop in a little handbag.
  8. The eye drops can be used for six months after the date of the first opening, which is amazing. I usually find myself having to bin loads of eye drops because they can only be used within a few weeks of opening, which is such a waste.
CONS

None

World Glaucoma Week

March 15, 2017 By in True Stories Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , 26 Comments

If you have been reading Fashion and Style Police for a while now, you would know all about my outfit posts, and how much I love having my sunglasses on. Apart from the fact that I believe sunglasses are so stylish, and have the power to give an outfit the ‘WOW’ factor, I also like to have them on because it stops me from squirting and blinking endlessly.

 

 

For those who do not know, I am short-sighted, and have been for many years. I was diagnosed very early in life which was great. I was struggling to read what was written on the board at school, and all members of my immediate family were short-sighted so it was a no brainer really. I was introduced to the world of spectacles, which I hated, but they made my life easier, so I had to get on with it until contact lenses came around, and I became old enough to manage them.

I now wear contact lenses which I prefer, but I still find myself falling back on my glasses every now and again.

My experience with my eye sight has made me appreciate the little things many people take for granted, like just being able to read and see clearly with any help. That’s why I encourage everyone to get their eyes checked regularly, especially parents and their children who may need kids glasses from an early age.

 

 

This week is World Glaucoma Week, and it has got me thinking a lot more about my eye health, and the many people I know affected by Glaucoma. Many of us tend to take the health of our eyes for granted, I know I do. I always have to be reminded to book my yearly routine eye checks, and most times, I take these eye checks for granted. I consider them just ‘routine’, but these ‘routine’ checks can save sight, can save lives!

In support of World Glaucoma Week 2017, NRS Healthcare has put together an informative guide, infographic and interview, to raise awareness around glaucoma in support of World Glaucoma Week 2017.

 

 

Here are 5 facts you need to know about Glaucoma –

  • Glaucoma is an eye condition where the optic nerve, which connects your eye to your brain, becomes damaged. It can lead to loss of vision if not detected and treated early on.
  • Glaucoma is a common condition, but 1 in 2 people are unaware they have this condition at first because it has no symptoms in the early stages.
  • It can affect people of all ages, including babies and young children.
  • Regular eye tests are very important as an eye test can detect Glaucoma.
  • Without treatment, it can lead to blindness.

 

Are you or anyone you know affected by Glaucoma? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below, and please remember to share this as well to help raise some awareness. Thank you.
