At a special event in Robinsons Manila Activity Center, Julia Montes and Kathryn Bernardo were appointed FreshLook® Colorblends and AIR OPTIX® Colors’ newest ambassadors. This event brought together thousands of Julia and Kath’s fans who had the chance to try the eyewear for free.
“Julia and Kathryn are FreshLook® Colorblends and AIR OPTIX® Colors champions, and we look forward to seeing them inspire contact lens wearers together with ALCON,” said ALCON Vision Care business unit Manager Kristine Custodio. “We are delighted that they joined us as FreshLook® Colorblends and AIR OPTIX® Colors’ newest ambassadors and lending their remarkable presence to educate new and existing contact lens wearers. Julia and Kathryn together with ALCON produced a corporate social responsibility (CSR) video to educate consumers and future wearers on the proper use and care of contact lenses.”
“Happy kami to be a part of the video because we hope to be role models in wearing and taking care of our eyes while wearing contact lenses,” Julia said.
“Importanteng gumamit din ng tamang contact lens solution and lubricant na in-advise ng optometrist ninyo,” added Kathryn.
Julia, wearing a fuschia dress was wearing her favorite FreshLook Colorblends Amethyst while Kathryn, wearing a pink jump suit was wearing Air Optix Colors Pure Hazel. FreshLook® Colorblends and AIR OPTIX® Colors both designed to create beautiful, natural-looking eyes, while providing healthy vision and consistent comfort throughout one’s wearing period have their own special wearing modalities. Both of them looked radiant and stunning as they gladly met and greeted the crowd. The event was well attended by people from the media and one of the questions asked was what was the longest time that both of them had worn the lenses without taking them off?
“As for me,” Julia said, “I wear my FreshLook® Colorblends hanggang maximum of 10 hours so it is best for everyday wear.” “ Ako naman,” Kathryn said, “since ang haba ng oras namin sa taping, I wear my AIR OPTIX® Colors hanggang 16 to 18 hour so perfect for long-hour wear.”
“Knowing how long you want to use your contact lens in a day matters. Just like our bodies need to breathe, oxygen is also essential for the health of the cornea, the clear, domed shaped front part of the eye. Insufficient oxygen may cause corneal swelling and lead to irritated and red eyes which may bring about uncomfortable lens wear,” said Dr. Jeanette Romualdez-Oo, Professional Affairs consultant, Alcon Vision Care.
