How to choose your eye drops?

<div>
 Dry eyes:
 It's quite common to experience dry eyes, particularly if you work in an environment that causes eye strain. You can get <a href="/en-ie/c/eye-care-centre/dry-eyes-and-contact-lenses" aria-label="link">dry eyes</a> for a variety of reasons, such as using a computer screen for long periods, not getting enough sleep and dehydration. But, what isn't well known is that dry eyes can actually impact the quality of your vision, as well as cause discomfort.
 
 <a href="/en-ie/eye-care/eye-drops" aria-label="link">Eye drops</a> provide lubrication by adding tear elements that are the same as those found naturally in your eyes. Because of this, they're often referred to as 'artificial tears', perfect for keeping your eyes moist and hydrated over the course of the day.
 
 Steer clear of using decongestant eye drops for dry eyes. These are formulated for red eyes and can exacerbate dry eyes. If your dry eyes aren't going away using lubricating drops, visit an eye doctor or a healthcare practitioner, and they can recommend something more suitable like an eye spray or an eyewash.
 
 Red eyes:
 If you have red eyes caused by tiredness or focusing for long periods of time then decongestant eye drops can help you get a more healthy, white appearance. They serve a more cosmetic purpose, so if your red eyes don't seem to improve or get worse, you should seek medical advice. Red eyes can usually be solved with dry eye drops, or by upping your water intake and getting some rest.

What are the different causes of dry eyes?

<div>
 You might feel that dry feeling after wearing your contact lenses for a while. To avoid this, simply give your eyes a rest at least one day a week, and switch to your glasses if needed. Like we've mentioned, eye drops can also work wonders, ensuring your eyes feel comfortable while your vision remains crystal-clear. Additionally, changing to a <a href="/en-ie/contact-lenses/daily-contact-lenses" aria-label="link">daily wearing</a> pattern or to a contact lens brand made of <a href="/en-ie/c/eye-care-centre/what-are-silicone-hydrogel-contact-lenses" aria-label="link">silicone hydrogel material</a>, which is incredibly hydrating, can be a quick win in terms of reducing your regular dry eye experiences.

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 href="/en-ie/c/eye-care-centre/understanding-your-contact-lens-prescription" aria-label="link">how to read your contact lens prescription</a>.
