Summer is here again! It's time for afternoons by the pool, picnics in the park, hikes in the fresh air, and all the many other ways we enjoy the glorious weather. However for those who wear contact lenses, summer can turn into a nightmare if you don't wear the right lenses. If you’re a contact lens wearer looking to take it easy this summer, take note. In this article we look at the top 5 features of summer-friendly contact lenses.
Daily contact lenses: Daily contact lenses will be your best ally in the summer. Forget about carrying bottles of solution and hygiene routines before and after putting in your contact lenses. With dailies, you set the rules. You want to take a dip in the pool and have a two-hour nap? Easy. Take out your contact lenses, throw them away, and put in new ones when you wake up. In summer, and even more so when you're on holiday, the days are unpredictable. Daily contact lenses will accompany you during your days off to give you the freedom you need.
Silicone hydrogel: In summer, we often leave the house without knowing what time we’ll be home, and with longer, sunnier days, who doesn't want to be outdoors? This is why it's so important that your contact lenses provide long-lasting hydration so you can stay comfortable all day long. You can achieve this comfort with silicone hydrogel contact lenses. This material ensures that your eyes stay fresh all day, providing maximum breathability.
Accurate vision: Summer is a great time for us to get out and see the world, from discovering new cities, to going on a solo trip for the first time, to watching a sunset on the beach. Imagine wearing contact lenses that don't allow you to have accurate vision and experiencing those unique memories with blurred vision. It would be a bummer, wouldn't it? If you want all those amazing experiences to be as sharp as they deserve to be, opt for contact lenses that guarantee you the most accurate vision.
Handling tint: In the summer, you may find yourself needing to pop your lenses in when you’re out and about, and having to do that in the bathroom at the beach bar or on the plane on the way to your next destination can be a challenge if your lenses don't have handling tint. Handling tint is also particularly handy for those new to putting in lenses.
UV filter: Protecting yourself from the sun is essential and it's not just about using sunscreen, your eyes also need a dose of protection. To provide your eyes with maximum protection, we advise you to combine sunglasses and contact lenses with a UV filter, so you can make sure your eyes are always protected from harmful ultraviolet rays.
