Benefits of wearing contact lenses while cooking

Picture the scene: you've spent ages making your mum's secret lasagna recipe (and another hour waiting for it to cook) and you can't wait to take it out of the oven and see the results of your hard work. But your glasses steam up the second you open the door and the only thing you can see is grey fog.

With contact lenses, that is a thing of the past! They sit comfortably and securely on your eye's cornea, eliminating the risk of bumping into things or burning yourself while handling a hot tray.

If you're not already enjoying the huge benefits of daily contact lenses, our opticians couldn't recommend them more! Daily lenses are so easy to use and throw away; no need to worry about storing them overnight or rinsing in solution. They're super-hygienic too, as you start each day with a fresh new pair.

One of the biggest benefits of contact lenses is seamless peripheral vision (that's also why they're ideal for exercising). The last thing you need is having interrupted vision when embarking on your culinary adventures! Enjoy full freedom of movement when you're busy multitasking by checking on your crispy spuds, chopping courgettes and stirring a stew all at the same time.

Should you want to check back on the recipe in your old cookbook - the one printed in the smallest font possible - you won't need to squint or look for your glasses when the sauce is bubbling on the stove. This is especially useful if you have presbyopia, the common eye condition that makes it difficult to focus up-close, as you can wear multifocal lenses and not have to worry about switching through multiple pairs of glasses.
