Do's

• Do not share your makeup with anyone else.
• Do not share your contact lenses (extremely unhygienic!)
• Do not apply eyeliner inside of your lashes.
• Do not expose your makeup to extreme temperature because it will alter the chemical composition.

Wearing Lenses Properly

Contact lenses are great substitutes to glasses which tend to fog easily and be misplaced like our wallet/purse and handphone... However, cleanliness is vital towards maintaining hassle-free, comfortable wear.... Below are some proposed steps:

• Wash your hands to remove any germs and dry them with a clean hand towel
• Always apply and remove your lenses one at a time in the same order to avoid mix-ups. For example, always remove your left lens from the storage case first.
• Rinse your lens with the recommended solution to remove traces of debris.
• Place the lens on the tip of your index finger.
• Use your other hand to hold up your upper lid and hold down your lower lid. This stops you from blinking.
• Look upwards and gently place the lens on the lower white part of your eye.
• Slowly release your eyelids, and shut your eye for a while.
• Blink a few times to centre the lens on your eye.
• If you feel any sort of discomfort in your eye, remove your lens and inspect it for any scraches or damages. If it damaged, throw it away. If not, rinse with more solution and reapply.
• Apply the right lens using the same method as above.

For new user, it must be hard to used it.. but if u not trying how can you would be do it... so try it you self...

The Contact Lense Types & Purposes

1. Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses are the most popular amongst the majority these days. It is made of flexible plastic that allows oxygen to pass through the cornea. It is more comfortable and easily adjusted compared to rigid gas permeable lenses. Nowadays, they are made of silicone-hydrogels to provide more oxygen flow.

2. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses

Rigid gas permeable contact lenses (RGPs) take some time for a wearer to get used to due to its rigid nature. However, they are more durable and resistant to deposit buildup, and generally give a clearer, crisper vision. They tend to be less expensive over the life of the lens since they last longer than soft contact lenses.

3. Extended Wear Contact Lenses

Extended wear contact lenses are usually soft contact lenses. They are meant to be worn overnight or continuously wear ranging from one to six nights up to 30 days. Your eye care professional will first evaluate your tolerance level and he/she will determine the suitable duration to wear.

4. Disposable (Replacement Schedule) Contact Lenses

People obviously treasure convenience; therefore it comes as no surprise that the most popular contact lenses are the disposables. They need not be cleaned and disinfected as compared to regular ones, hence the advantage of complete convenience.

Contact Lens...

Today, I would like to talk about Contact Lens...

Everyone know what is contact lens.. i just know about it... Its a part of beauty accessory also a way to get the job... Almost everyone wears contact lenses these day. In fact, you cant really tell who is and who isn't and some do not even wear then for vision correction. Athletes wear specific one to have sharper vision while celebrities and Halloween enthusiasts wear coloured ones to go with matching outfits. There are ideal for people who have short-sightedness (myopia) or long- sightedness (hyperopia) where those affected are unable to focus light directly on the retina. In your eyes there is tear fluid floating on the surface, where contact lenses stick. How do contact lenses stay comfortable, one might ask? Lubrication to the cornea is emitted by your eyes when you blink, which helps flush away any impurities that may be stuck to the lenses.

end for this time... I will talk more about this later... BYE....
