Here's To Br"eye"t Ideas

I finally convinced my daughter to take her shower tonight! Yes friends, she will be clean for school tomorrow. Sometimes it amazes me how difficult it is to get most kids to clean up! Not just themselves, but their rooms, the house…

I realize as parent, we have to pick our battles, but good grief! Brush your teeth!...Comb you hair! “ I can’t take you out in public looking like that!” Now that I am thinking about it, I hope that while they take their shower, they are actually using the soap. How would I know?  I don’t sit in there and monitor the situation! “Make sure you wash behind your ears!”

I’m fairly certain that if my wife and I didn’t occasionally clean their bathrooms, we would have giant lab experiments growing in our house. “Call in the Haz Mat team for the bacteria and fungus removal!” And there’s the contact lens case, sitting beside the bathroom sink! I wonder…when was the last time this has been cleaned? She actually wears those contacts!  How much of that bacteria is now in her eyes?

That scenario played out in my mind over and over until I made a smart decision (and I don’t make that many smart decisions, so let me bask in this one for a minute!).  Wait for it …wait for it…DAILY DISPOSABLE CONTACT LENSES! After seeing how clean(not) my daughters keep their rooms/bathrooms, I have seen the light. They now were contact lenses that they can throw away EVERY DAY. No more worrying about whether or not they cleaned their contact lens case or that they “topped off” the solution in the case instead of refilling it entirely. 

I used to be concerned about the price of daily disposable contact lenses, but now, with so many options in the daily disposable market, prices have become very reasonable! There are also rebate coupons and “in-house”rebates through our office! And more importantly, there is a peace of mind that comes from knowing that there is a clean contact lens in the eyes that you love. Call us and find out if daily disposable contacts are right for you or your children. Here’s to smart decisions!
