Have you ever been curious about the factors that influence how well we see through our eyeglasses?

Our bodies undergo various changes as we gracefully age, and our eyes are no exception to this natural change. If we only observe how people use their eyeglasses, how does it help them? For instance, when they hold small objects further away for better visibility, we see them putting chains on their glasses to keep them around their necks instead of bringing them closer. Hence, we must always pay attention to our eye health and the significance of choosing the eyewear that perfectly fits our unique eye conditions. We must also be heedful of how we treat our eyes to maintain and preserve our optimal vision.

In this episode, Dr. Juliette and Karl shed light on how crucial it is to have your eyes checked and receive the correct prescription so you can take proper care of your eyes. They delve into some of the behaviors we often see people do with their eyeglasses that we never understood but significantly influence our ability to see clearly. 

Additionally, they reminisce on their experience meeting NURILENS customers in person as they pop for the culture. 

Join the discussion on how aging affects the eye's natural lens and the factors we need to consider while selecting eyeglasses that will help us focus on maintaining good eye health.

About NURILENS
NURILENS was founded by CEO Dr. Juliette Nelson as a fusion of her love for eyewear and her lifelong appreciation for deep-rooted culture and timeless natural materials. Having traveled to different countries and lived in South Korea for one year, she was exposed to various fashionable and affordable eyewear options that allowed her to express her colorful personality and individuality.

As an Afro-Caribbean woman, through NURILENS, Juliette seeks to celebrate the culture and identity of her customers. Her brand also encourages customers to "see through the lens of their purpose" by stepping out as their best, authentic selves, making healthy decisions about their vision, and seeking to be purpose-oriented in what they do.

The beauty of the world is enhanced through our eyes. Our vision is a priceless treasure often overlooked. Our ability to perceive the world's beauty is intricately tied to our vision. However, we usually take this gift for granted when we spend excessive time in front of our screens without being mindful of its effect on our eyes. We must recognize the value of healthy eye care practices and seek professional guidance in preserving our vision. Don't wait until it's too late. Instead, seize the present and prioritize your vision because the power to shape your future lies in your choices today. 

In this episode, Dr. Juliette and Karl aim to share with us all about eyecare and how NURILENS was envisioned as a platform to raise awareness about eye health, empower individuals to value their eyes and provide a safe space for people to thrive.
