World Sight Day: today's about more than lenses

Today's about more than lenses. It's World Sight Day, and while Lenstore spends most of the year helping people see clearly, today we're thinking about the millions of people who can't. Around the world, billions of people live without the vision care they need to learn, work and simply get through the day. The OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation is working to change that, and this October, every Lenstore order is helping. 

Contact lenses in summer: heat, pools and festivals

Heat, chlorine and sweat can dry your contact lenses out fast, and pool water is basically a bacteria party your eyes did not RSVP to. Pack daily disposable lenses for swimming and festivals, keep rewetting drops handy for dry eye moments, wear proper UV sunglasses, and always take your lenses out before a shower or a hot tub.
