Moorfields Pharmaceuticals have launched of Lubristil eye drops, a sodium hyaluronate eye lubricant for dry eyes but overnight vision correction contact lenses maybe a better solution for dry eye contact lens wearers.
Sodium hyaluronate is a pure natural polymer which is present in structures of the human eye. Its ‘viscoelastic’ properties mean it can easily be applied to the surface of the eye to provide a stable coating with lubricating and hydrating properties. This makes it suitable to treat any level of dry eye conditions which are characterised by impaired tear production.
But those who wear contact lenses are much more prone to dry eye problems. Contact lenses cause dry eye by soaking up moisture from the tear film to replace moisture lost from the contact lens to the environment - especially air-conditioning and central heating.
Overnight vision correction involves wearing custom designed overnight contact lenses which gentle reshape the eye while sleeping - correcting eyesight. This means that contact lenses are not needed during the day leaving the eye naturally moist and free to soak up oxygen all day long.

Mathew Bourne's Cinderella wears Glasses
Just seen Mathew Bourne's Cinderella in which both Cinders and her Prince Charming both wear Glasses.
Bourne has updated the ballet transferring it to 1940's wartime London, a time when contact lenses were not available hence why a number if the key characters wear glasses.
Besides "plane Jane" Cinderella and her "intelligent" Prince Charming there is the step brother who has a shoe fetish, the doctors in the psychiatric unit and many if the supporting cast all of whom wear glasses.
It is a fantastically imaginative production and the staging is dramatic with sirens, loud bangs and black and white war film archive propaganda.
Cinders transforms from plain Jane arriving at the ball in a glorious sparkly white number and by this times neither her or the Prince are wearing glasses. They can now miraculously now see - maybe they had iGO overnight vision correction after all in those days or maybe it was the magic of the fairy godfather!
The best scene for me was the early morning bedroom scene with the italienate light which basks the two leads who have the stage to themselves in early morning sunshine.
The final act has Cinderella and Prince Charming reuniting in hospital. The wicked stepmother, the most graceful and my favourite dancer tries unsuccessfully to suffocate Cinders in her bed. She is carted off to prison.
Prince Charming arrives separately and the doctor administers electric shock treatment after first carefully removing his glasses.
Cinders somehow finds him slumped in a chair as he is slowly coming around.
Of course he doesn't recognize her at first as he has to put his glasses back on before he can see her. At the same time she removes her glasses so he can see her at her best and when they fell in love at the dance she was glasses free. Anyway they compare shoes just to be sure she has the left foot and he has the right.
They finally try kiss but as they both have their glasses back on they clash and have to remove them to embrace properly.
The ballet ends playing out to Pennsylvania 6500 and the cast boogying away.
Fantastic, roll on Romeo and Romeo - his next production!

Jean Michel Jarre will use giant lasers to correct people’s vision and improve their eyesight
A very funny article talks about the latest way to improve eyesight - laser surgery for the masses at pop concerts. For the price of a ticket to a Jean Michel Concert the short sighted can correct their vision it is claimed!!! It does nothing to improve your hearing though.
French musician Jean Michel Jarre has announced that at all future performances he will be using his spectacular giant lasers to correct the eyesight of his fans.
‘For too long I have travelled the world using my lasers simply to enhance my own music,’ said Jarre, ‘but now I want to use them for good and give something back to my fans. I clearly can’t do anything to improve their hearing so the least I can do is give them 20-20 vision.’
Jarre, whose latest album, ‘Opticien’, is already a massive hit, will play a number of sell-out dates in which he performs insipid Euro synth-pop while simultaneously correcting the vision of everyone in the audience.
In a recent performance Jarre corrected the vision of over 5,000 fans. ‘It was amazing,’ said one man, ‘I went in with astigmatism and came out with perfect eyesight.
Jean Michelle Jarre says he hopes to perform giant laser eye surgery on over a million people as he travels the world, performing classics such as Oxygene and Equinoxe alongside newer works such as ‘Laser Corneal Reshaping’ and ‘Photorefractive Keratectomy’.
Jarre will also be making his giant lasers available for tattoo removal. However, the treatment will require patients undergoing a very painful repeat procedure in which they have to attend his gigs on up to six different occasions.
‘I would warn people to think very carefully before embarking on the Jean Michel Jarre treatment,’ said one expert, ‘his giant lasers are perfectly safe but continued exposure to his music could cause serious problems later in life.’

Glasses for children - no thanks says twin boys Dan and Alex
 |
| iGO Contact Lens wearersDan and Alex |
Many parents of children who wear glasses do not realise that children can wear contact lenses and actually adapt very well and often tolerate contact lenses better than adults. Children don't want to be different from their peers and glasses set them apart, so getting rid of children's glasses is a great benefit. It also means that they can get involved in school sports and playground activities. Children who wear glasses often avoid these activities and miss out on an important part of learning and social interaction.
