As a jet-setting photographer, Jintana, 31, has a job most could only dream of. Who wouldn't want to spend their days in glamorous destinations shooting A-list celebrities? Surprisingly, there was a time when Jintana wished she was doing anything but. "I love my career and I couldn't wish for anything better, but as a contact lens wearer, the flying used to really dry my lenses out, making my eyes feel uncomfortable" admits Jintana.
"As a photographer it's important to have sharp, clear vision when you're taking pictures. But I couldn't always guarantee that my eyes would feel fresh and moist because of all the travel involved." The demands of Jintana's job mean that she often goes straight from the airport to the studio to start shooting and afterwards she normally heads to the nearest smoky bar for the latest tasty cocktail to celebrate. Despite Jintana's hectic lifestyle, she doesn't struggle with dry eye symptoms any more. "This used to be a real problem, but then I discovered new Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus," explains Jintana. "It's made such a difference to my working week - and my social life. Now I don't think twice about whether I can focus properly behind my lens or if I should go out for a mojito."
So what exactly is new Acuvue Oasys with Hydraclear Plus? It's a new contact lens that has been designed to help keep your eyes feeling fresh everyday, even in challenging conditions. It's not just Jintana, women from every industry are embracing the latest advances, from city bankers to hairstylists. "The nature of my job means that I often work long shifts," says hairstylist Sally Gibson. "Before I started using Acuvue Oasys I used to have to take my contacts out and switch to glasses towards the end of the shift as the air conditioning and hairdryers would dry out my lenses. But now I can keep my contact lenses in the entire time because the Hydraclear Plus mean it helps keep my eyes feeling moist and fresh. The unique technology helps to create an ultra-smooth contact lens that is perfect for everyday drying environments." Mixologist Jackie Green agrees: 'image is an important part of my job, so I used to persevere with my contacts, event when they hurt. I was so relieved to discover Acuvue Oasys.'Whether you're a photographer, mixologist or hairstylist, the Hydraclear Plus technology really makes a difference in creating an ultra-smooth contact lens. Thinking about it: in the morning you battle your way onto a bus, blinking at the car fumes, desperately trying to get to work on time. On arrival, you're hit by a refreshing cold blast from the air con and it's not long before you feel dryness of the eyes. You spend all afternoon staring at your PC, and come the end of the day, although you're desperate to go out for a glass of Merlot, your eyes have different ideas. But it doesn't have to be like that. There's no need to suffer in silence, simply visit your local opticians to find out more and trial these new lenses. You won't know how you survived without them.
