Specs vs. Lenses: Two Eyes Better Than Four
Picture this:

You've invited a date to your place where you've planned a great evening with a home-cooked meal first, followed by a movie blockbuster after. Your date arrives and as you exchange pleasantries, the bubbling chemistry is obvious. Just then, the oven timer chimes and the both of you approach the kitchen. Upon opening the oven door, you're momentarily blinded by a burst of hot air – your glasses have fogged up!

Eye contact is essential in any situation, especially on dates. Contact lenses offer the clarity of eye contact, which in turn improves your communication skills with the other person.

 

Actually, while everyday life is made a whole lot more convenient with contact lenses, life's precious moments are best spent without the hindrance of clumsy spectacles. Take for instance, that special night out. Whether it's a big–scale gala event at a glamorous hotel, an intimate dinner in a posh restaurant or even chill–out drinks at the bar, the last thing you want is to look goggled–eyed in your glasses. Even the most expertly applied eye makeup would be hidden behind spectacles.

 

Milestone events – graduations, anniversaries, and birthdays – are great times to wear your contact lenses. It is inevitable that these precious memories will be documented on film or video. And your eyes are always the centre of attention when it comes to taking pictures. This explains why most photography catastrophes involve the eyes – half–closed eyelids, bug eyes, the red eye syndrome (when your eyeballs reflect the light from the camera's flash and show up in pictures as red glassy dots). Your eyes are the windows to your soul, and well-defined, sparkly eyes are the key to looking young, fresh and radiant. Aside from the right eye makeup, try adding some oomph to your eyes with 1 • DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE™. These contact lenses, which provide extra definition for the eyes, are the perfect tools for seeing, and the perfect accessories for making sure your eyes look their radiant best.

 

And thrill seekers listen up! Adventurous activities are also the times when the call to abandon slippery spectacles for hands–free contact lenses is particularly strong. Imagine bungee jumping, or playing rugby or basketball with a pair of clumsy spectacles strapped tightly onto your face. It's not only uncomfortable but also dangerous (if your glasses get smashed to smithereens, sending glass shards flying). If you're a fan of amusement parks, the thought of riding a rollercoaster, hurtling through challenging terrains and being tippled in compromising positions would surely remind you that glasses are not the best options. After all, with both your hands gripping with fear on the rollercoaster bar, where would you find the extra pair of hands to hold onto those falling glasses when being tipped side–to–side and upside down?

 

One special day, in particular, requires you to ditch those cumbersome spectacles in favour of freedom–giving contact lenses – your wedding. Whether you're the bride or the groom, there's no better way to enjoy the most important day of your life than by wearing contact lenses. You won't need to constantly push those glasses up your nose bridge, won't need to clean them ever so often, and really, you won't even remember that you're wearing them! All that extra time left behind is better spent enjoying yourself and making the most of precious moments on this big day. It's the defining moment of your life, and hiding those gorgeous eyes behind spectacles is not just a shame, it's practically a crime!

Contact lenses are the best options during these occasions:
  • Weddings, especially yours
  • Anniversaries
  • Gala events
  • Prom night
  • Parties
  • Dates
  • Sports
  • Going to the spa
  • A day at the amusement park
  • Photo-taking sessions
