Product Review: Lion Smile White Eyes and Rohto C3 Cube Eye Drops

     I’ve been wearing contact lenses since time immemorial. I was in 6th grade when I first started wearing colored contact lens for fashion. Back then, I’m not aware that there’s a specific eye drop for contact lens wearer.

     Fast forward today, I've tried two brands of eye drops from Japan already and so happy that I discovered these four years ago- Rohto and Lion. My bad that I wasn't able to make a review of the other variants that I've tried namely Rohto Lycee and Rohto C Cube. Wearing contact lenses dries the eye that's why you'll need eye drops to relieve fatigue, make the eyes bright and healthy-looking. So without further ado, sharing a short review on Lion Smile White Eyes and Rohto Eye Drops that I highly recommend for contact lens wearer here in the Philippines.

Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes as AIR OPTIX® Colors and FreshLook® Colors Ambassadors

     Last July 10, 2016 an exciting event was held at Robinsons Manila Activity Center. It's the day of the big reveal as Kathryn Bernardo and Julia Montes were appointed AIR OPTIX® Colors’ and FreshLook®’ s newest ambassadors, with a special focus on engaging young people in the right use of color contact lens. 

     I've been wearing contact lenses for the more than 20 years now. I started wearing contact lenses when I was in high school and the first brand that I bought was FreshLook. The brand offers different colors and I find the price affordable that's why I always make sure to dispose and buy new ones when the advisable wear time expires. It's important to know these things, a.k.a. contact lens 101 because our eyes are important. We don't want to go blind just because of misuse of contact lens, right? Highlights of the event below :)

Both are products of Alcon the global leader in eye care, provides innovative products that enhance quality of life by helping people worldwide see better.

Here's a piece of an advice from Dr. Romualdez-Oo:

• Knowing how long you want to use your contact lens in a day matters. 
• Just like our bodies need to breathe, oxygen is also essential for the health of the cornea, the clear, domed-shaped front part of the eye. 
• Insufficient oxygen may cause corneal swelling and lead to irritated and red eyes which may bring about uncomfortable lens wear
• Contact lenses are medical devices and should be fitted by a licensed eye care professional, even for people who do not need vision correction. 
• Your eye care professional can determine the contact lens and correction that are best for you.

Product Review: Air Optix Colors Contact Lens

     It's been ages since the last time I shared my thoughts about contact lenses plus the pros and cons of wearing them. I'm still wearing contact lenses almost every other day and I presume some of you have noticed while some have not. I've been using contact lenses for decades now. My main reason why I use contact lenses is for aesthetics only. But behind those beautiful and enlarged irises, are eyes suffering from discomforts and irritation. Not all contact lenses are created equal; most of the brands that I've tried make my eyes red, irritated, and the worst my eyelids swollen. 

     There are so many things what I like and I don't like while wearing contact lenses but these past few years, more on the negative side has arise. Doll lenses makes my eyes doll-like but believe me, the size can be a pain in the eyes. It's so uncomfy to wear. I guess, going back to the brand of contact lens where the number one priority is the comfort of wearing will always win my heart. From Freshlook, now here's Air Optix Colors. Finally here's my honest to goodness review of Air Optix Colors Contact Lens in Gemstone Green and Brown.

What I like:

• The size is okay. Yay to natural iris size. Will say goodbye to big doll eyes for now. Honestly speaking there are times I think I look like a freak wearing big doll-like contact lenses. No offense to doll lenses fans. I've seen lots of pretty ladies who look good with big doll-like contact lens.
• I have clear vision from day to night.
• The contact lens are comfortable to wear as it lasted on my eyes for more than 8 hours.
• No irritation or redness seen while I have them on my eyes.
• It's easy to remove too.
• There are 9 colors to choose from.
• There are subtle and vibrant colors that compliments different skin tone and hair colors.
• Yay to a virtual try on studio. There are 9 different color contact lenses available to try on, making it an easy way to find the color that best fits me and you!
• The effects of the colors are more natural and doesn't look "pilit" (trying hard to pull off).
• I feel that I have healthy-looking eyes with Air Oprtix Colors.

What I don't like:

• I guess for a monthly disposable contact lens, the price can be a little high if you're a budget conscious individual. 

Will I repurchase? Yes! I want to try Sterling Gray and Brilliant Blue :)

Recommendation:

     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. Here are the basic tips that I want to share for newbie contact lens users:

• Always wash your hands before touching your contact lenses. 
• Before opening your new contact lens, make sure that it is properly sealed. 
• Sanitize your contact lens case/s first. What I do is soak the lens case in warm water for 5 minutes.
• Let your eye doctor teach you how to properly wear and remove them. Remember that even though you use your contact lens for aesthetic purposes only, it is still a medical device.
• You can also watch video tutorials on how to wear and remove them.
• REMEMBER: If you are using a monthly disposable lens, make sure you mark the exact date you first opened the contact lens in their packaging. That marks day 1. Even if you're not using them everyday, it still counts. So you will not count how many times you've worn them BUT how many days left from the day you opened them. 
• I usually mark my contact lenses case the day I opened the packaging. 
• DO NOT SLEEP with CONTACT LENSES on your eyes. I will not advise you to do that even if the product or brand says so. 
• Make sure that you follow also how to use the contact lens solution. 

     I think I'm in love with both colors. Gemstone Green is what I need if I want to give my eyes the glam or extra oomph of color that's perfect for parties and events. But on usual days, I'll be wearing brown. Have you tried Air Optix Colors Contact Lens? Share your thoughts on the comment section below :)

Good Times!~
