It’s that time of year again….my once yearly eye exam with Dr. Susan Resnick (30 East 60th Street NY, NY). This year, as a new mom, I wanted to explore ACUVUE ® options that fit my crazier-than-crazy lifestyle. With a newborn at home, I have time no time for extra steps and complicated routines so my conversation with Dr. Resnick addressed two concerns:
1. Extended Wear Lenses — Am I a candidate for those 30 day lenses I’ve seen on TV?
2. Dry Eyes — Ugh, why so dry all of a sudden? And what’s the best option for my dry eye balls?
After an eye exam and chat with Dr Resnick, as it turns out, I am actually not a candidate for extended wear 30-day lenses. And the reason why has a lot to do with my second area of concern – ‘dryness’. As a new mom, and a nursing mom, my body requires a great deal of moisture. Because I’m always either pumping or nursing, moisture is leaving my body at a steady rate — so this begins to explain my dry eyes situation — so extended wear lenses probably would not work for me…I’d likely be very dry and irritated all the time.
Alternatively, Dr Resnick recommended ACUVUE ® TruEye daily wear lenses. Every day I pop in a fresh pair…this circumvents the whole dryness situation and also limits the opportunity for irritation. Sold!
So far, I’ve been wearing ACUVUE ® TruEye for about a month and they are incredible. A fresh pair a day makes a world of difference. My eyes don’t feel dry or sensitive at all. I’m totally a daily wear girl forever more!
