Maintaining good health and a healthy lifestyle has become a big area of focus for many in recent years. So, with this in mind, the team here at Lenstore have revisited our Healthy Lifestyle Cities Report, refreshing the findings for a 2023 edition – you can find the 2022 Healthy Lifestyle Report here, and the 2021 report here.

Having regular eye tests is one of the most important things you can do for your health, even if you think you have perfect vision. 

That is because eye tests can help ensure your glasses or contact lens prescription is up to date, while also detecting any early warning signs of eye conditions and other health issues like diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

From concealer to mascara, makeup is worn by millions of people each and every day, and it’s important when applying it to be doing so in a safe manner. Applying makeup around the eye area requires extra care to ensure you are protecting your sight from infection or even poking your eye out and causing long-lasting damage. 

For contact lens wearers, the challenge of protecting your eyes when applying makeup can seem even greater, as you need to ensure both your contact lens and eyes are being taken care of. 

Halloween is almost here and dressing up is one of the main things we look forward to. With people wanting to make an effort on their costumes, coloured contact lenses are a perfect way to finish off your spooky look. But are you making sure you’re using them safely?

We have created the below image to test your eyesight. How many images can you spot in the picture?
