® % > When it’s time to say “I do.” the last thing a bride needs to worry about is cumbersome eyeglasses to interfere with that first nup- tial kiss. Now that comfort- able, easy-care soft contact lenses are available, there’s no excuse for any bride to wear glasses on her wedding day. Cosmetically, a bride locks better and feels more Yeautiful without awkward glasses sitting on her nose. With contact lenses, makeup can be applied to comple- ment the bride’s radiant glow — not offset the exaggerated or diminished features that result from glasses. Shouldn’t sparkling eyes, not thick eyeglasses, shine through a lace wedding veil? Multitude of benefits Besides the obvious cos- metic benefits, today’s brides should consider wear- ing soft lenses because they are so comfortable and easy to care for. Soft lens wear no longer requires complicated care procedures that have, in the past, dissuaded eye- glass wearers from making a switch. And, thanks to an all-in- one saline solution from Cooper Vision that cleans, that makes a separate daily cleaning solution unneces- sary. though daily cleaning for safe and comfortable lens wear is strongly advised to protect against irritating and potentially dangerous eye problems, studies show that 64 percent of soft contact lens wearers do not perform this important lens care step. And when a bride is con- cerned with the many last- minute details of her wedding, she, too, may eas- ily forget. That’s why Mira- Sol is ideal. One solution means one bottle . . . one less step. Once the reception is over and the honeymoon begins, the bride doesn’t have time to worry about packing a bulky heat disinfection unit. Cooper Vision has solved this problem with Mira- therm™ Heat Disinfection Unit that’s as small as Ru- bik’s Cube. Pack it up and the unit goes anywhere the bride goes — making over- sized, old-fashioned heating units ‘obsolete. Streamlined procedures With lens care procedures as simple as walking down the aisle, brides should have no trouble bidding glasses farewell. All a bride-to-be has to de is consult an eye- care specialist, who will examine her and prescribe the proper lenses. Then, the new contact lens wearer will spend about half an hour with the specialist or atrain- ed “fitter,” who will explain insertion and removal pro- cedures. The bride will also be reminded that she must make minor changes in her routine to ensure consistent contact lens comfort. For example, she must insert her lenses before applying makeup because no matter how careful she might be, powder, mascara and hair- spray can get into her eyes. During any celebration, there's bound to be a lot of smoke and dirt in the air, which can collect on lenses and irritate the eyes. To lenses of foreign substances while remoistening them for greater comfort. Soft lenses are extremely popular because they can be worn all day with no dis- comfort. And since the eyes easily adjust to soft lenses, they can be worn when needed — something that was never possible with hard lenses. If the bride wants to alternate between glasses and soft lenses while on her honeymoon, she should take along a backup pair of prescription eye- glasses. A pair of inexpensive, polarized sunglasses is also a good idea if the honey- moon will take place in a sunny climate — warm or intensify the reflection of the sun’s rays; tinted sun- glasses will give her eyes a chance to rest while out- doors. Weddings should conjure up visions of exquisite flowers, satin gowns and smiling faces — not unat- from the bride's eyes. With worries of time-consuming lens-care procedures out of the way, a bride can walk down the aisle with cheeks aglow and eyes dazzling. personalized wedding. sages, bouquets, aisle reception flowers.
