We rely on our eyes all day, every day. From the moment they let in the first rays of sunshine to that last light before we drift off to sleep, they work hard to help us see our world. When was the last time you took care of your eyes? Why not direct a little self-care towards your eyes and give them the TLC they deserve? With Eyeleve’s soothing moist heat compress for contact lens wearers, every day can be a spa day for your eyes.

Ways Your Eyes Might Be Telling You They Need A Break

It is human nature to ignore our bodies until there is a problem. We only pay attention once we are in pain or can’t do what we need to. Are you ignoring what your eyes are trying to tell you? They may already be sending you an SOS with the following symptoms of contact lens discomfort, dry eye irritation,  or digital eye strain:

  • Blurry vision
  • Gritty, dry feeling
  • Burning, stinging
  • Increased tearing
  • Contact lens discomfort
  • Redness
  • Eyestrain or pain

Ease Dry Eye Disease With Soothing Spa Treatments

Dry eye disease is an increasingly common condition that occurs when your eyes can’t produce enough tears or produce poor-quality tears. Age, gender, contact lenses, some health conditions, and particular medications can increase your risk for dry eye disease. If you experience symptoms, you may already have dry eye disease and not know it. You can treat the symptoms and prevent further development of dry eye disease by regularly using moist heat compresses like Eyeleve’s Contact Lens compress. This can help preserve your tears and tear film. dry, painful, or irritated eyes are an indication that your tear film may be unstable and that it is time to start pampering them

The Toll of Tech on Our Eyes

Your habit of spending long hours in front of screens and multi-tasking on multiple devices makes your eyes cry out for some pampering. It is harder for eyes to read on a digital screen than it is from the pages of a book. Digital eye strain and computer vision syndrome are the names eye doctors give to the unpleasant symptoms many people experience in today’s screen-dominated world. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, you also blink less frequently when staring at a screen, contributing to contact-lens-related dry eye as well. So your eyes may appreciate a screen-time diet and some R&R.

How to Pamper Your Eyes

So now that you better understand the daily demands you place on your eyes, don’t you think they’ve earned a break? Eyeleve helps you give your eyes some spa-type pampering.

  • Relax with a soothing Eyeleve Contact Lens Compress.
    Eyeleve’s moist heat compress makes it easier for you to add a little relaxation to your daily self-care routine. It takes just 20 seconds in the microwave, to warm up the compress’s medibeads to the correct therapeutic temperature needed to activate your eyes’ own natural lubrication system. Daily use of the Eyeleve compress for just eight to ten minutes is clinically proven to help the tiny glands in your eyelids work better. The oil released by the glands helps nourish your tired eyes and improve the quality of the refreshing tears needed to avoid symptoms of dry eye disease or computer vision syndrome.
  • Get a better night’s sleep.
    Heat in and of itself is relaxing. Routine is also relaxing. Combine the two into a nightly pre-sleep habit of wearing an eye mask, and you have a better shot at more restful sleep. People with insomnia or trouble falling asleep are encouraged to practice regular, soothing bedtime routines to help signal their bodies (and brains) that it is time to sleep. In much the same way that our computers need time to “power down,” so too do our bodies and brains. The Eyeleve Contact Lens Compress’s ergonomically designed eye pods block out daylight. In the darkness, it is easier for your eyes and brain to shut out the crazy world. They can take a much-needed break. In this calm, relaxed Zen-like state, you are better able to fall asleep and stay asleep. By improving your sleep quality, you can help your eyes recharge and prepare for the next day ahead.
  • Indulge in regular stress breaks for your eyes.
    Your eyes need regular stress breaks, just like you do. Set a reminder on your phone or computer to follow the 20-20-20 rule of looking away from your screen for at least 20 seconds, every twenty minutes, at an object at least 20 feet away while viewing. Being mindful of frequently blinking throughout your day is another way to pamper your eyes by giving your tear film a chance to nourish the surface of your eyes.

Care For Your Eyes in Stressful Times

Our world and our lives are visual. Devoting a few minutes a day of pampering for your eyes is a wise investment in your overall well-being. The dividends of spa time for your eyes extend beyond being able to wear your contact lenses comfortably for longer or increasing your productive time at work. There is no better time than today’s stressful, digital times to start pampering your eyes with Eyeleve’s clean moist heat compress.

Don’t Let Blurry Vision Cloud Your College Experience

If you are a college student, you depend on your eyes to be your windows to your academic and social life. Unfortunately, many college students complain of blurry vision and eye strain due to the unprecedented visual demands of college. For contact lens wearers especially, long hours of reading, late nights studying, and less-than-ideal hygiene increase the chances of eye infections, blurry vision, and lens discomfort. With Eyeleve’s innovative eye compress, you can keep your eyes feeling comfortable and seeing clearly, despite the college grind.

Common Causes of Blurry Vision Among College Students

Your vision can be blurry for several reasons, but dry eyes are one of the most common causes. Wearing your contact lenses for too long, allergies, and digital eye strain can all make your eyes sting, feel irritated, and dry.

If you have excessive eye pain, redness, or worsening blurry vision, you should find an eye doctor near you at college immediately. Although rare, some eye infections cause long-term harm.
If your blurry vision seems to be related more to the demands of college life, try these tips to feel better longer in your contact lenses.

How Does Dry Eye Cause Blurry Vision?

A thin, protective layer of tears covers the surface of your eye. This tear film keeps your eyes clean and hydrated. Tears are made from a mixture of water, oils, and mucus. Tiny glands lining your eyelids produce the oil in your tears. Without enough oil, tears evaporate too quickly, leading to dry, irritated eyes and blurry vision.

Your tear film works as a lens on your eye, refining and focusing light so that you can see clearly. Without a functioning tear film and with dry patches, your vision becomes blurry.

EYE CARE TIP

Make your contact lenses more comfortable

Using a moist heat eye compress such as Eyeleve helps:

  • Increased the length of time you can comfortably wearing your lenses

Contact Lenses Can Make Dry Eye Worse

About half of all contact lens wearers have dry eyes. This is because wearing contact lenses thins your protective tear film. Dry eye symptoms such as blurry vision are one of the reasons many people take out their lenses and go back to wearing glasses.

Studies have shown that worker productivity declines with increasing contact lens discomfort. Your blurry vision or uncomfortably dry eyes could be cutting your study sessions (or late-night partying) short.

Computer Vision Syndrome Causes Blurry Vision

When staring at a screen, we blink less frequently. Unfortunately, this means that our eyes are more likely to dry out, and our vision becomes more blurry the longer we spend in front of a screen.

Long hours at your computer also makes your eyes tired. The tiny muscles you use to focus have to work harder when looking at a digital screen. Switching between screens makes our eyes work harder as well. Eye strain and fatigue cause blurry vision.

Following the 20-20-20 rule and taking screen breaks to look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds every 20 minutes when working on a screen can be an effective way to beat blurry vision and digital eye strain while at college.

Moist Heat Eye Masks Can Prevent and Treat Your Blurry Vision

Research has shown that daily use of a moist heat compress like Eyeleve extends the length of time you can comfortably wear your contact lenses by three hours. That is because the mask’s patented Medibeads produce the optimum temperature to help to melt and release the nourishing oils from your eyelid glands. As your eye’s natural lubricant, these oils strengthen the tear film so you can see clearly and comfortably for longer.

The Eyeleve moist heat mask for contact lens wearers can be heated repeatedly in your dorm room microwave for just 20 seconds and will stay warm for 10 minutes. Over-the-counter eye drops might temporarily help reduce irritation from dry eyes in a pinch, but regular eye masking can prevent your blurry vision caused by dry eye from getting worse.

An added benefit of the heat from the eye mask is that it increases blood flow to your eye area. This blood flow flushes out irritants and eases inflammation.

Daily use of your soothing Eyeleve eye compress can help nourish your tired eyes, increase your productivity, and keep your vision in top-notch condition.

A Regular Eye Hygiene Routine Keeps Your Vision Clear

Good eyelid hygiene has been shown to reduce contact lens-related dry eye symptoms and eye infections. However, contact lens wearers are at greater risk of eye infections that can cause blurry vision, such as blepharitis, pink eye, or styes. For contact lens wearers, a few time-savers make it easier for you to keep your eyes healthy on the go at college.

Using hypoallergenic, disposable eye wipes like Bruder Hygienic Eye Wipes are a great way to safely clean your eyes, even if you are away from your dorm room. Followed by two quick sprays of Bruder Hygienic Eyelid Cleaning solution over closed eyelids, this daily routine supports healthy eyelids and eyelashes.

If you happen to develop redness, irritation, or something like a stye, these eye hygiene products, combined with regular moist heat therapy from the Eyeleve eye mask, can help speed up healing. Eyeleve’s ergonomic eye pod design fits comfortably over even the sorest stye and delivers moist heat to help the stye and infection heal more quickly.

Extend Your Comfortable Contact Lens Wear Time in College

You depend on your eyes and your contact lenses to help you see the world in front of you. Texting friends, reading the fine print, or studying harder than you ever had in your life- you need your eyes to perform at their best. Daily use of your soothing Eyeleve eye compress can help nourish your tired eyes, increase your productivity, and keep your vision in top-notch condition. College is no time to let blurry vision get in the way of living your best life.

A College Packing List for Contact Lens Wearers

It is a busy time of year for the next class of college-bound freshmen. You want your eyes to be ready for the academic demands of university life. From stacks of textbooks, slide presentations in lectures, and hours in front of digital screens, college demands a lot from you and your eyes.

Do you or your college-bound child have everything you need to keep your eyes healthy? With a natural Eyeleve heat mask for dry eyes, you can steer clear of the dry eye symptoms contact lens wearers commonly suffer from. Head off to college ready for the visual demands of college by checking off this contact lens college-prep list.

1. See your eye doctor before you leave for college

Annual eye exams are essential for ensuring you have the best prescription and your eyes are healthy. If your prescription is outdated, you may be more likely to experience eye fatigue, computer vision syndrome, and headaches.

2. Stock up with extra sets of contacts and at least one extra pair of glasses

Wearing your contact lenses for too long can be harmful to your eyes and your vision. You may pull a lot of all-nighters, but you should never wear your contacts for longer than advised by your doctor. Be prepared to switch out your contacts on the go. Pack a sturdy contact lens travel case, supplies for study break changes (see eye hygiene below), and a spare pair of glasses in your backpack. Are you planning to have your new contacts delivered to you at college? It may take several months to figure out your new mailing address. Take an adequate supply of lenses to last you through the first few months to avoid running out when the college workload kicks into high gear.

3 Reasons Why Contact Lens Wearers Should Maintain a Complete Eyelid Hygiene Routine

Whether you’re new to contacts or have been wearing them for years, proper eye hygiene is essential to keeping your eyes comfortable and healthy.

Pack a moist heat eye mask like the Eyeleve heated mask for dry eyes

The moist heat from Eyeleve’s ergonomically designed eye compress is clinically-proven to extend the length of time you can comfortably wear your contact lenses by three hours. Don’t let lens discomfort make you have to leave the library early. Make every minute you spend studying count!

When we stare at digital screens for long periods, we blink less often, which causes irritating symptoms of dry eyes. Blurry vision, stinging, and burning make long study sessions or movie marathons uncomfortable for college contact lens wearers. Studies have shown that worker productivity declines with increasing contact lens discomfort. Don’t let dry eyes cost you precious minutes of study time or time spent with friends!

Easily warmed up in just 20 seconds in your microwave, Eyeleve’s reusable eye mask fits comfortably over your eyes. It might even block out the light from your night-owl roommate’s desk lamp as you try to fall asleep. Studies show that Eyeleve’s patented technology maintains the optimum heat temperature for as long as 10 minutes- the correct time and temperature necessary for kicking your eye’s natural lubricating system back into high gear.

3. Follow easy eye hygiene steps to keep your eyes happy and healthy in contact lenses

You will likely have to share a bathroom somewhere down the hall from your dorm room, so personal hygiene becomes trickier in college, especially if you wear contact lenses.

You are at greater risk of eye infections because you touch your eyes and eyelids more when you wear contact lenses. Packing hygiene supplies like easy-to-use, no-rinse Bruder Hygienic Eyelid Wipes can help wipe away dirt, makeup, or eye irritants easily and quickly. In addition, two sprays once or twice a day of Bruder Hygienic Eyelid Solution (containing pure 0.02% hypochlorous acid in saline) can help prevent and treat eye infections such as styes.

Other products to consider adding to your college packing list for contact lens wearers include:

With a natural Eyeleve heat mask for dry eyes, you can steer clear of the dry eye symptoms contact lens wearers commonly suffer from.

If you are unlucky enough to get an eye infection or feel a stye coming on, moist heat from an eye compress like Eyeleve can work wonders. Moist heat penetrates more deeply than dry heat (like that from a heating pad) and brings blood and your body’s infection-fighting reserves to the infected area. This helps to speed healing, fight infection, and reduce inflammation.

Eyeleve’s moist heat eye mask is covered in special antimicrobial fabric to help reduce infection risk. As a result, it is safer and more effective at preventing and treating potential eye infections than a soggy, dirty washcloth.

Start Your College Semester Off With The Right Supplies

College is not the time or place to be sidelined by contact lens problems. Help prepare for a successful first semester by adding Eyeleve’s washable and reusable moist heat eye mask to your packing list. With the right supplies packed, your transition to life as a college student wearing contact lenses can be hassle-free.

Put Your Vision First for National Eye Exam Month

As supporters of healthy eyes everywhere, Eyeleve wants to make sure you give your eyes the same preventive care you give to the rest of your body.

As the windows to your world, your eyes should be the first thing you take care of. And yet, many of us skip regular eye exams and wait for an eye emergency instead. So this month, in honor of National Eye Exam month, Eyeleve wants to make sure you get your annual comprehensive eye exam.

What is a comprehensive eye exam?

If you are a contact lens-wearer already, you are probably no stranger to eye exams. But for those newbies out there, nervous about your first comprehensive eye exam, here are the details.

Firstly, and most importantly, routine eye exams are very easy, quick and painless. Both optometrists and ophthalmologists (specialized doctors for eyes) are licensed to perform comprehensive eye exams.

During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will test how clearly you can see (visual acuity), how well you can see objects near and far (depth perception), how well your eyes line up to one another (eye alignment), and eye movement (tested by having you follow a light or a finger as it moves through space). A comprehensive eye exam is different from a vision screening which only tests for visual acuity or how clearly you can see.

As part of a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will put eyedrops in your eyes to dilate (open) your pupils. Your pupils are the round, black openings at the center of your iris (the colored part of your eye). The dilated pupils are like an open window through which your doctor can check the inside of your eyes.

Eight Reasons Your Eyes Need a Healthy Tear Film & Tears

Tears do more than telegraph your emotions to the rest of the world. They are essential for your eye health and vision.

Here is what else you should know:
  • It usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes for your pupils to open fully
  • Light-colored eyes, such as blue, dilate faster than brown eyes
  • Your vision will be blurry. It may be hard to focus on close objects, read small print, or see words on your phone screen after your pupils are dilated
  • Your eyes will be more sensitive to bright light. Bring sunglasses with you to wear after your appointment
  • These effects of the dilating eye drops will last a few hours

How Can A Basic Eye Exam Improve My Overall Health and My Vision?

At Eyeleve, we believe in preventive health and taking care of your eyes. Annual comprehensive eye exams for contact lens wearers not only check to make sure your prescription is correct. A comprehensive eye exam can also uncover eye diseases and some other medical conditions early on, before you might even have any symptoms or problems.

Some of the eye diseases eye doctors screen for are glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, and cancers of the eye. The majority of eye diseases can be treated or managed if diagnosed early. That is why having regular eye exams, even if you do not have any eye problems or trouble with your vision, should be part of your regular health maintenance routine. Just like you floss and brush your teeth, following a regular eye hygiene routine with the Eyeleve Contact Lens Compress and seeing your eye doctor for annual comprehensive eye exams keep your eyes in the best health possible.

A comprehensive eye exam should be part of your overall preventive health routine because it can pick up on changes in your eyes that undiagnosed medical conditions could cause. Eye doctors can see the symptoms of some of the following diseases even before your primary care doctor may:

  • Diabetes
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Lupus
  • High Blood Pressure
  • High Cholesterol
  • Arterial Disease

A comprehensive eye exam can uncover eye diseases and possibly other medical conditions before you even have symptoms or problems

Why Do I Need An Annual Eye Exam For My Contact Lenses?

Your visual acuity or how clearly you can read the fine print can change subtly in just a year’s time. Your productivity might be decreased by your poor eyesight. You may be struggling at work or school, suffering from eye strain or dry eye symptoms without even recognizing your symptoms. While using a therapeutic moist heat eye mask like Eyeleve can help improve your symptoms (and your productivity), having a regular eye exam to adjust your prescription could also help your eyes feel and see better. With the right prescription, you can reduce eye strain and headaches.

Who Should Have an Eye Exam and How Often?

How often you need a comprehensive eye exam depends on your risk for eye disease. Talk to your doctor about what’s right for you.

Get a comprehensive (with pupil dilation) eye exam every 1 to 2 years if you:

Get a dilated eye exam at least once a year if you have diabetes or high blood pressure.

Put Your Vision First For National Eye Exam Month

At Eyeleve, we know how critical your eyes are to your quality of life. We design effective, easy-to-use, and affordable medical-grade eye health products such as the Eyeleve Contact Lens Compress to help keep your precious eyes in top working order. Getting regular eye exams is another critical part of protecting and preserving your vision. Together we can keep your eyes healthy and feeling comfortable for years to come.

Eight Reasons Your Eyes Need a Healthy Tear Film & Tears

Eight Reasons Your Eyes Need a Healthy Tear Film & Tears

Woman rubbing her tired eyes from looking at computer screen.
Tears do more than telegraph your emotions to the rest of the world. They are essential for your eye health and vision.

Healthy tears and a stable tear film are essential to everyday eye comfort and wellness. If you’re not producing enough tears (or the right kind of tears) and you add contact lenses to the mix, your eyes can feel dry and irritated. Using moist heat therapy to help supplement routine eye hygiene can reduce discomfort and dry eye-related blurry vision, which is especially prevalent with increasing age and too much screen time.

Learning more about how your tears and tear film prevent dry eyes and blurred vision may motivate you to add regular eye care TLC for your to your daily routine.

  • Tears wash away foreign particles or irritants 

Such as pollen, dirt, or bacteria that could cause damage to the surface of your eye, called the cornea. This is important because contact lens wearers are at greater risk for eye infections.

But just having enough tears does not ensure you have good vision (called visual acuity). Too many tears or watery eyes can blur your vision. The same is true if you have too few tears (Dry Eye Disease), making it harder to see clearly. Beyond a healthy amount of tears, healthy eyes require a stable tear film.

A stable tear film consists of three layers: a mucin layer, a water layer, and an oil layer:

Your protective tear film weakens if the mucin layer starts to break down. This is called tear film instability. There are many causes of tear film instability such as hormone changes, autoimmune disease, inflamed eyelid glands, allergic eye disease, and contact lens wearing.

  • Tears help your contact lenses feel more comfortable for longer.

Whenever your tear film isn’t working correctly, you may begin to experience symptoms of dry eye. Wearing contact lenses can disrupt the protective outer oil layer of your tear film, so that the water-based middle layer can evaporate more easily, meaning you notice dry eye symptoms such as burning, stinging, blurry vision, or a scratchy feeling as if there was something in your eye. Your body compensates by producing more tears to help rehydrate the surface of your eye and your lens.

Tiny glands called meibomian glands also line your inner eyelids. These glands release natural lubricating oils that are a critical ingredient to helping your contact lenses feel more comfortable for longer. These nourishing oils slow down how quickly your tears evaporate, so you can enjoy the moisture-rich benefits of every tear your body makes. Research has shown that you can help boost your body’s natural defenses against dry eye symptoms by adding in regular use of a heated eye mask. Daily use of dry eye relief mask like the Eyeleve Contact Lens Compress helped contact lens wearer’s meibomian glands work better and extended their comfortable lens wearing time by three hours in one clinical study.

  • Healthy tears can help reduce symptoms of dry eye disease. 

Approximately 20 million people in the United States (344 million people worldwide) have dry eye disease (DED), and that number is growing. Dry eye develops when your eyes don’t make enough tears to stay wet, when your tears don’t work properly, or if your tears evaporate too quickly.
Your doctor can help you find the best treatment options for the exact cause of your dry eye symptoms. However, there are also simple, at-home ways to help improve dry eye symptoms yourself. Relaxing with a moist-heat eye mask daily can help your eyelid glands release the oils needed to properly nourish your tear film and soothe your eyes.

"Healthy tears and a stable tear film are essential parts of your everyday eye comfort and wellness."

  • Tears reduce the chances of eye infection.

Contact lens wearers are at greater risk for eye infections. Tears are the way your body washes away any harmful viruses, bacteria, or dirt that could cause infection. With regular blinking action and sufficient amounts of tears, the tear film is cleansed and replaced about every ten seconds. Tears also contain special infection-fighting antibodies and enzymes- part of our body’s immune system. An intact tear film forms a protective barrier over the surface of the eye.

You can further boost your eyes’ natural infection-fighting ability by following a regular eyelid hygiene routine as well. This could include hygienic eyelid wipes and hygienic antibacterial eyewash spray for cleaning your eyelids, such as the Bruder Hygienic Eyelid Kit, perfect for on-the-go lens changing needs.

  • Tears can heal damage to the surface of the eye. 

Whether your eyes are stressed by dry eye disease, a foreign object like dirt, infection, or contact lenses, it can lead to damage and inflammation over time. tears help the cornea’s fragile surface heal by acting like a protective cushion between the eyelid and the ocular surface.

Just like flossing regularly keeps your teeth healthy, following an eye care routine with a heated eye mask can help your eyes stay healthy, especially if you are a contact lens wearer. Contact lenses disrupt the nourishing effect of healthy tears. Contacts also destabilize the protective tear film your tears form over the surface of your eyes. Regularly using a heated eye hydrating compress such as Eyeleve is one way to keep your tear film healthy and your eyes feeling more comfortable for longer.

There are multiple reasons why we all need healthy tears and a stable tear film. The nourishing and hydrating power of your tears are critical to your overall eye health and eye comfort in today’s modern world. . You can support your body’s own healing and protective measures with regular use of a dry eye relief mask such as Eyeleve and a daily eyelid hygiene routine.
