 Looking after your eyes is vital to a healthy lifestyle. Even if you have never worn <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/contact-lenses">contact lenses</a> or glasses, we stock several eye drops, wipes and vitamins that will keep your eyes clear and comfortable for longer.

The main thing you need to do to ensure your eyes are healthy is to have an <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/c/contact-lens-info/free-eye-test" aria-label="eye test">eye test</a> at least once every two years. Not only will it help you to find out if you have good eyesight, it can detect other eye conditions that may develop if you don’t take care of your eyes properly.
 
 If your eyes feel uncomfortable, you should take steps to resolve this as just putting up with it could be ignoring symptoms of a more significant problem. Often, irritated or uncomfortable eyes are nothing to worry about and just need some <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/eye-care/eye-drops" aria-label="eye drops">eye drops</a> or another eye care product to feel better, but if these symptoms persist it could be because of a more serious issue.
 
 Conditions that uncomfortable eyes could potentially be a symptom of include:
 
 • <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/c/eye-care-centre/conjunctivitis-eye-infection" aria-label="Conjunctivitis">Conjunctivitis</a>: An inflammation of the covering of the white of your eye (conjunctiva) which is easily treated on advice of a doctor.
 • Corneal abrasions: The cornea is the clear, front surface of the eye. Scratches are fairly easy to get and can lead to infection if not kept clean.
 • Keratitis: An inflammation of the cornea that can affect vision if not treated quickly.
 • Blepharitis: A regularly occurring inflammation of the lower eyelids. Symptoms can be treated using special eye wipes.

Why is it important to look after your eyes?

<div>
 Aside from visiting an optician regularly, there are a number of ways you can help maintain healthy eyes. If you’re a contact lens wearer, keeping your lenses clean and fresh is vital to maintaining your comfort as well as clear vision. This is especially important for <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/contact-lenses/monthly-contact-lenses" aria-label="monthly">monthly</a> and <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/contact-lenses/two-weekly-contact-lenses" aria-label="weekly">weekly</a> lenses, which need a thorough cleaning and storing routine with solution each night so that they stay safe and comfortable to wear.
 
 Washing your eyelids is another great way to ensure your eyes stay in the best of health. Over the course of the day, it’s easy for dirt and debris to get caught in your eyes or for small protein deposits to build up. Eye wipes or washes can be used to give your eyes a thorough clean and make sure that they’re ready if you’re going to apply lenses.
 
 If you find that your eyes are feeling uncomfortable during the day it’s a good idea to use eye drops, spray or another kind of eye wash to help soothe them. If they remain irritated, you should visit a doctor or ophthalmologist to make sure it’s not a symptom of something more serious.

How can I order my contact lenses with Vision Direct? 

<div>
 Learning how to read your contact lens prescription might be daunting at first. All contact lens prescriptions include a least three values: base curve, diameter, and power. However, for toric or multifocal lenses additional values will be added to the prescription, usually no more than four. The specifications you can expect to see are as follows:
 
 
 Base Curve (BC): The curvature of the lens in millimetres usually between 8.3 and 9.0.
 
 Diameter (D): The diameter of the contact lens. This number ranges from between 13.8 to 14.5.
 
 Power (PWR/SPH): Is a + or - figure followed by a number e.g. -4.50 or +0.25. This represents the level of visual correction needed, and whether your lenses correct long-sightedness (plus/+ powers) or short-sightedness (minus/- powers). For some contact lenses, the power may also be 0.00, plano or displayed with this symbol ∞ which is for non-prescription use e.g. coloured contact lenses.
 
 
 If you have astigmatism or wear multifocal contact lenses you can read out full guide on <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/c/eye-care-centre/understanding-your-contact-lens-prescription" aria-label="how to read your contact lens prescription">how to read your contact lens prescription</a>.

 Many high street opticians offer their own brand contact lenses that are just rebranded and repackaged products from popular contact lens brands and manufacturers, such as <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/brand/alcon-contact-lenses" aria-label="Alcon">Alcon</a>, <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/brand/biofinity-contact-lenses" aria-label="Biofinity">Biofinity</a>, and <a data-show="replace" href="/en-ie/brand/coopervision-contact-lenses" aria-label="CooperVision">CooperVision</a>.
