9 PRETTY VISION
Start everyday with a fresh pair of Acuvue Define Radiant Charm ($64/per box of 30 pairs, at authorised practitioners). Reap the beauty benefits of these lenses as they have three varying pigment layers that can lighten, contrast and enlarge your eyes all at the same time. A smart, unique technology seals the colour pigments between the lens and safely away from your eyes. You can also expect amazing comfort in these, which lock in 20 hours of moisture for your precious peepers.
