Festivals! Looking After Your Eyes...

FESTIVALS LOOKING AFTER YOU EYES Festival Season is finally here! Tents are being dusted off, dried-in dirt is being wiped from wellies and sleeping bags are being pulled out from underneath beds all across the country. There are so many great things about summer; BBQ's on the beach, day long road trips and holidays in the sun with your best friends - but nothing quite compares to the experience of a festival weekend. BBQS Take care of your eyes / It might not seem like the most important thing to think about before you go, but just think how gutted you would be to miss out ROAD TRIPS on the headline act after losing a contact lens or having to go on a trek to find the first aid tent to get some eye drops. HOLIDAYS HYGIENE Make sure that you wash your hands with an anti-bacterial solution before touching your eyes. EXTRA CONTACTS Make sure you pack extra contact lenses (with an extra case) just in case. SOLUTION Ensure you have enough solution that will last you your whole trip - and pack some extra too incase you lose one or spill a bottle. EYE DROPS Sun, alcohol and not a lot of water sounds like a lot of fun - but it's a mix that isn't great for your eyes. These factors often contribute to itchy, dry or irritated eyes. PROTECTION and finally. WEAR SUNGLASSES. and make sure that yours are UV protecting as this will help to protect your eyes, and the area around your eyes, from harmful UV rays.
