Beauty Blitz founder Polly Blitzer shares the world through her eyes - and contact lenses. 

I remeber the moment like it was yesterday. I was in fourth grade, and I couldn't read what my homeroom teacher wrote on the blackboard. I had to squint to read it. My friend in the row behind me could read it without a problem. I started tugging at the outer corners of my eyes whenever I wanted to see something far away. (So that's where my crow's feet came from.) It turns out I'm nearsighted. And so began my vision-correction journey.

First, there were the black-rimmed glasses. Then the tortoise-shell pair. I tried contact lenses from various brands, but they felt like rocks in my eyes. Or they got so dry, they'd fall out when I blinked. I tried different types and brands until (in Goldilocks and the Three Bears style) I found something juuuust riiiight. ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses.

My eyes felt comfortable and the lenses were easy to put in. I'm a klutz, so putting something my eyes before morning coffee is dangerous. But you know what? They adhere easily, feel comfortable all day - even while flying - and my eyes never feel  tired or heavy - and they never look bloodshot. Full disclosure: I've accidentally slept in my contact lenses over the years (exams in college, vacation, and all-night-long benders with newborn twins), and my vision was always clear the following day, without blurriness or discomfort. 

ACUVUE® Brand now has a new contact lens, and I cannot wait to try it. As far as story-toppers go, this is a brand that consistently raises the bar in terms of comfort and ease of use. Your eyes get that bright, white sparkly quality. (It must be the unique material they're made from - it lets your eyes "breathe" freely throughout the day with high oxygen penetration!)

The new ACUVUE® TruEye® Brand Contact Lenses have health benefits. They feature a new HYDRACLEAR® 1 formula, a technology that combines high-performance base materials with a moisture-rich wetting agent. So you get lasting comfort all day. 

Studies have shown that daily replacement is the healthiest way to wear contact lenses. By putting in a clean, fresh lens every day, daily disposable contact lenses help minimize the potential for buildup of allergens and irritants (take that, allergy season!). Plus, one-day contact lenses are convenient - you don't need to clean lenses at the end of the day or store the lenses in those little cases and squirt them off in your palm in the morning.

If you're a sun worshipper like me, you'll get an even bigger benefit. 1-DAY ACUVUE® TruEye® offers patients the highest level of UV protection in a contact lens, blocking more than 96 percent of UVA rays and 99 percent of UVB rays that reach the lens. *extra ACUVUE language from Kristen goes here*

I'm not one to throw around the word "breakthrough," because a small fraction of the products that claim to be breakthroughs actually are! But this contact lens technology was designed, developed, and clinically researched versus the ultimate benchmark: the natural eye. Clinical data suggests that 1-DAY ACUVUE® TruEye® can help maintain eye health with the near “no lens” experience and keep the lens wearing eye looking white and healthy, while also offering exceptional comfort throughout the day.
