I see you see I see you, but how can you see without glasses? With contact lenses of course!
Everyone wears them, from cosplayers, working adults who are looking for convenience to keep up with their busy lifestyles to medically necessary contacts. Everyone from all walks of life wears them, but did you know that there were some hidden rules about contact lenses? Me neither!

1. Contact lenses are actually medical devices
That’s right! According to the Medical Device Authority, Ministry of Health Malaysia, contact lenses are actually classified as medical devices and are regulated. And that’s why contact lenses have to be prescribed by certified professionals, like an optometrist after a proper eye examination.
I mean, have to la right? It’s your eyes leh.

2. Contact lenses cannot be worn 24/7
Now, this might seem like a bit of information that everyone already knows, but you’ll be surprised…. These days, we have contact lenses that can give you all-day performance but that doesn’t mean you can wear them 24/7. Why? Because one of the biggest no-no is that you cannot sleep with your contact lenses!!
Stick to daily contact lenses if you don’t want to worry too much or if you’re just a little lazy. Kinda like 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE® Radiant Sweet™ contact lenses that provide long-lasting comfort – up to 20 hours Cushion-of-Moisture with LACREON® technology. You try doing something for 20 hours straight and see.

Seriously though, with pigments enclosed within two layers of lens material so that the colour pigments never touches your eyes, UV protection that’s internationally recognised and along with LACREON® tech that offers you moisture, they’re seriously sounding pretty good, isn’t it?
3. Some contact lenses shield your eyes from harmful UV rays!
Did you know? The intense UV rays (namely, UVA, UVB, and UVC) from the Sun are as harmful to our eyes as to our skin, which affects our vision in the long run and increases our chances of developing eye problems like cataracts. While frolicking under the Sun, aside from wearing sunglasses with UV protection, you may also opt for UV blocking contact lenses AND wide-brimmed hat for maximum protection!

Here’s another eye-opening treat for you: ACUVUE® is the only major brand which blocks more than 98% of UVB and 85% of UVA rays as standard across the entire range of its products!
In-SIGHT-ful, isn’t it?
4. Daily lenses are ideal for hygienic reasons
Imagine wearing the same pair of glasses for 6 months without wiping them, confirm DIRTY right? Well, the thing about contact lenses as well is that no matter how well you care for them, they’ll still be dirty nearing the end of the wearing time, although there are many other factors that contribute to this. Wouldn’t it just be easier to switch to daily contact lenses and skip all the hassle + staying clean? 😉

5. The outcome of wearing colour contact lenses varies from one individual to another
Ever heard the phrase “There are many like it but this one is mine”? Life affects all of us differently, and contact lenses are no different. Remember that wearing coloured contact lenses affects us all differently, how? Well, that’s because our irises are unique to every individual. With 1-DAY ACUVUE® DEFINE®, it enhances your natural eye beauty rather than cover it, and that’s how you can achieve a look that is only unique to you.
