[Tried & Tested] Through My Eyes: A Day in the Life of Christina

Hi Huneybees,

Ever wondered what a day in my life is like?

Being a blogger and graphic designer, my days require me to spend long hours in front of the computer screen and attend events in the evenings. I used to wear coloured contact lenses to improve my look, however I would have to frequently use eye drops to keep my eyes moist.

Apart from the uncomfortable feeling of dry eyes, sometimes my eyes would look bloodshot. Did you know that bloodshot eyes are usually an indication of a lack of oxygen to the eye? Now you do.

My quality of life improved significantly when I started using 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM! Not only do I get crisp and clear vision, but also HEALTHY eyes! The contact lenses are more breathable, ensuring your eyes get sufficient oxygen throughout the day. With 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM, you can benefit from Triple Care properties of Moisture, Oxygen and UV protection to keep your eyes healthy and comfortable all day, every day! So awesome, right?! I no longer need to use eye drops during the day even after long hours working or attending late night functions.


Moreover, with international ANSI recognised standards of UV protection, my eyes are protected from harmful UVA and UVB. I don't have to worry about my eyes when I’m in the sun!

Another favourite feature is the Auto-Focus Technology which helps position and keeps my contact lens in place even when I lie sideways on the couch to watch TV or play video games in bed.

The best part is that at the end of a long day, I can just throw away my contact lenses instead of taking the time to clean and store them. I just love the feeling of starting my day with a new pair of contact lenses!


Well, our eyes are the windows to the soul. “Comfortable, HEALTHY eyes with clear vision” is definitely my motto for choosing the right contact lenses. I'm sticking to 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM for sure!

For all you Huneybees who have read the story and want to beat the blur with 1•DAY ACUVUE®

[Tried & Tested] Beat The Blur With 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM

Hi Huneybees,

I've had Astigmatism since childhood and my vision has always been blur, as though I am in some Matrix movie where I'm always seeing doubles. My vision is only clear when I wear my glasses and because of vanity reasons, I do not wear them most of the time.

What's worse is ever since I got to wear coloured contact lens 2 years ago, I simply wear them to beautify my eyes and showoff my makeup skills, I literally wore the lens in 0 degrees, and not wear my glasses until I know I am "safely" home.

So basically, this happens to me most of the time...

It is super embarrassing when it is not only about missing the bus. I tend to overlook alot of things, like recognizing the wrong people or even ignoring my friends! It is the most excruciating during sales time, when I have to strain my eyes just to make sure I am getting the best deal out the dress I'm eyeing on! 

No way! It's time I say No! I'm gona Beat the Blur with HEALTHY EYES just like Aloysius Pang ((lifestyle blogger and up-and-coming actor) ), the ambassador for 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM. I was invited to the launch event and I even got to give it a test, where I'm fully converted now...

From Johnson & Johnson Vision Care (JJVC) Singapore comes the 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM. At the event, Ms Esther Seah, Senior Brand Manager for Singapore & Malaysia Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, shared that most of the people (in fact 64% of contact lens wearers) do not realise that they have astigmatism and tend to increase  their myopia power of their existing contact lenses in an attempt to see clearly. Such ‘masking’ not only does not correct their astigmatism, it may also potentially worsen their symptoms!

Acuvue has worked closely with the Institutions of learning, Health and Regulatory Authorities, Associations and Eye Care Professionals, to raise awareness to Astigmatism. Not only have they launched the 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM, they have also worked with their ambassador - Aloysius Pang with the ‘Beat the Blur with HEALTHY Eyes’ astigmatism campaign.

1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM ambassador - Aloysius Pang sharing with us his experience in beating the blur.

It was kicked off on 11 July 2013 with the “Embarrassing Moments” video starring lifestyle blogger and up-and-coming actor Aloysius Pang who portrays an astigmat who did not correct his astigmatism, gets caught out by a case of mistaken identity, resulting in a series of funny yet embarrassing moments which we can all relate to. The 6-month campaign is part of JJVC’s continued drive for public education on the impact of astigmatism and how to properly correct it. You can check out more about it here.

At the event, Ms. Shirley Loh, Public Professional Affairs Manager for JJVC Singapore and a trained optometrist did a test on blogger William Tan and myself with a on-the-spot eye test. I learnt that I do not have to compromise my vision for beauty and now with the contact lens, I can now flaunt my beauty without having to cover it up with glasses or having to squint when things get blurry!

I've been wearing the 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM contact lens everyday ever since the event. It is super comfy, even though I wore them for the whole day, I do not feel the drynes in my eyes and I do not need any eye drop at all! While, that's because all ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses, including 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM, comes with ACUVUE® Triple Care – Moisture, Oxygen and UV Protection – to keep eyes healthy and comfortable all day. 

Even though it might be a little costly compared to those monthly coloured lens that I buy (One box of 1•DAY ACUVUE® MOIST® for ASTIGMATISM (30 pieces) retails at SGD 69.00), but I like that it is daily lens, where I don't have to think storing them, cleaning them at the end of the day. I can simply remove and go straight to bed, especially on days when I'm super tired. 

I also don't have to worry about eye irritation from mishandling of the lens, fall outs from mascaras or even during the hazy days. It's hygienic, fuss free and comfortable, definitely something I don't mind spending a little more on.

Wana know if you have Astigmatism? Try these few tests...
