Keeping an eye<br />

on nutrition<br />

We all know that good<br />

nutrition is synonymous<br />

with good health, and<br />

there’s a huge body of<br />

evidence suggesting that<br />

eating right is good for<br />

your eyes as well.<br />

Many studies have linked<br />

antioxidant vitamins with<br />

helping to maintain healthy<br />

cells and tissues in the eye,<br />

but increasingly research<br />

is suggesting that an<br />

Green means go!<br />

The top natural sources<br />

of lutein include:<br />

n Kale<br />

n Spinach<br />

n green beans<br />

n Broccoli<br />

n eggs<br />

2<br />

antioxidant called lutein,<br />

and the essential omega-3<br />

fatty acids, could also be<br />

helpful.<br />

The lutein factor<br />

You’ve heard about eating a<br />

healthy dose of carrots for<br />

good eyesight, but did you<br />

know that greens could be<br />

even better?<br />

Eating greens to improve<br />

your vision may not just<br />

be an old wives’ tale. An<br />

increasing body of evidence<br />

highlights the benefits of<br />

eating lutein – a carotenoid<br />

found in dark green leafy<br />

vegetables – for good eye<br />

health.<br />

Lutein is highly<br />

concentrated in the macula<br />

– the area of the eye which<br />

is responsible for the sharp<br />

central vision.<br />

The lutein is<br />

deposited in this area<br />

through the lutein<br />

we consume as part<br />

of our diet. In the eye,<br />

lutein is used to filter<br />

harmful blue light and<br />

protect the macula from<br />

free-radical damage.<br />

InSight<br />

The Lutein Information Bureau<br />

suggests a minimum intake of<br />

6-10 mg per day of lutein is<br />

necessary to reap its health<br />

benefits– this is equivalent to<br />

eating a mixing bowl full of fresh<br />

spinach every single day! If you<br />

can’t incorporate this much into<br />

your daily regime, consider taking<br />

a good quality supplement such<br />

as Ocuvite.<br />

“Dry AMD has affected every area of my<br />

life, from reading and writing to driving,<br />

but until I was diagnosed, I’d never even<br />

heard of AMD. I thought my declining<br />

eyesight was simply a result of my age!<br />

My ophthalmologist advised me to take<br />

a lutein supplement to help preserve my<br />

sight, and I’m really glad I’m able to do<br />

something proactive to help hold on to<br />

When did you hear that<br />

your mum had AMD?<br />

She was diagnosed in her<br />

60s but refused to let it get<br />

her down. I know it was<br />

frustrating that as her sight<br />

deteriorated mum couldn’t<br />

do as much of the sewing and<br />

embroidery that she loved,<br />

but she always remained very<br />

physically active. She loved<br />

going on cruises and would<br />

win competitions onboard for<br />

her accomplishments – even<br />

in her mid 60s she could leap<br />

off tables straight into the<br />

splits!<br />

Did you know what<br />

AMD was?<br />

no, I’d never heard of it. I<br />

knew that our eyesight often<br />

deteriorates as we grow older,<br />

but I wasn’t aware that AMd<br />

was so common, and that in<br />

some cases it could also lead<br />

to blindness.<br />

<strong>Eye</strong>s on<br />

the future<br />

AMD can be hereditary<br />

and is more common in<br />

women – especially if they<br />

have blonde hair and<br />

blue eyes. Has that made<br />

you concerned about<br />

your own sight?<br />

naturally. I never wore<br />

sunglasses regularly in the<br />

past – I always saw them as a<br />

fashion accessory rather than<br />

a health necessity. That’s a<br />

big regret, as I’m much more<br />

aware now of the damage<br />

that the sun can do to our<br />

eyes. I’ve never smoked,<br />

which is fortunate as that’s<br />

been linked in a number of<br />

studies to the development<br />

of the condition.<br />

during my research I heard<br />

about ocuvite - which helps<br />

maintain good eye health -<br />

and now I make sure I take<br />

it regularly.<br />

Julie Peasgood, 52, reveals why<br />

her mother’s Age-related Macular<br />

degeneration diagnosis has made<br />

her safeguard her own sight<br />

I also have regular eye<br />

check-ups. The health of my<br />

eyes has become a priority<br />

now in a way that it wasn’t<br />

before. over the years I’ve<br />

had to accept that I need to<br />

wear glasses for reading, but<br />

otherwise my eyes are in<br />

good health.<br />

Do you think there is<br />

enough information<br />

available on AMD?<br />

no. I’d never heard of the<br />

condition, so by the time<br />

she was diagnosed, it was<br />

too late to make much<br />

difference for my mum. If I’d<br />

known what I know now,<br />

I’d certainly have made sure<br />

she took a high potency<br />

supplement. I’d also have<br />

given her Popeye-sized<br />

platefuls of spinach! As with<br />

all health issues, prevention<br />

is better than cure.<br />

how his AMD diagnosis<br />

changed his outlook John Acres, 61, Surrey<br />

“I fi rst noticed a problem<br />

sitting at home one evening.<br />

As the light began to fade<br />

I closed one eye and to my<br />

surprise I noticed that the<br />

vision in my open eye was<br />

distorted and cloudy.<br />

“I was really frightened and<br />

booked an appointment with<br />

my optician straight away. He<br />

diagnosed me with wet AMD. I’d<br />

never heard of AMD before, and<br />

was scared about what the<br />

diagnosis meant - I thought it<br />

would simply be a downward<br />

spiral towards blindness.<br />

“I sought the advice of my optician<br />

who advised me to see an eye<br />

consultant in the NHS - an expert<br />

in the fi eld. He quickly advised<br />

me of the best course to follow – a<br />

series of three Anti-VEGF injections<br />

in my bad eye.<br />

“The injections were a success,<br />

and the hospital recommended I<br />

help prevent further deterioration<br />

I haven’t seen any further<br />

deterioration in the quality of<br />

my vision.<br />

“I would urge people who have<br />

any concerns about their vision to<br />

get in touch with an eye specialist.<br />

Don’t delay in the hope that the<br />

situation will just rectify itself.<br />

But even if the news is bad, don’t<br />

there for you, and so many reasons<br />

Too young<br />

for reading<br />

glasses?<br />

If you’re having trouble<br />

reading things up<br />

close - and perhaps<br />

you are holding this<br />

at arms length for a<br />

clearer focus, it’s likely<br />

you’re experiencing<br />

presbyopia. A naturally<br />

occurring vision<br />

condition, which starts<br />

to affect most people in<br />

their forties.<br />

6<br />

<strong>Eye</strong> on the<br />

facts…<br />

Presbyopia<br />

despite its prevalence, over<br />

40% of people over 40 are<br />

unaware of it:<br />

n 80% find reading medicine and<br />

food labels a struggle<br />

n 65% find close-up work like<br />

sewing or craftwork difficult<br />

n 52% find using a PC problematic<br />

Astigmatism doesn’t<br />

have to hold you back!<br />

Astigmatism is a common<br />

condition and is usually<br />

present from birth. It<br />

occurs when the front<br />

part of the eye, the cornea,<br />

is not a regular<br />

symmetrical spherical<br />

shape - like a football.<br />

Instead, its shape is more<br />

like that of a rugby ball<br />

- longer in one direction<br />

than the other.<br />

Because the cornea is an<br />

irregular shape, the eye<br />

has difficulty focusing<br />

properly.<br />

When this happens, the<br />

person’s vision may be<br />

blurred and the individual<br />

may struggle to focus or<br />

read. They may also<br />

complain of tired or dry<br />

eyes, and headaches.<br />

If the thought of having to<br />

carry around glasses<br />

everywhere sounds onerous<br />

or if you are self-conscious<br />

about being seen needing<br />

glasses when out and about,<br />

you might be interested to<br />

know that with multi-focal<br />

contact lenses, such as <strong>Bausch</strong><br />

& <strong>Lomb</strong> PureVision ® , you’ll<br />

be able to see clearly at all<br />

distances. This means that<br />

you can continue to lead a full<br />

and active lifestyle and no-one<br />

need know you are wearing<br />

contact lenses!<br />

Correction is often<br />

offered through<br />

spectacles. However in<br />

most cases, astigmatism<br />

can be corrected by<br />

wearing specially-designed<br />

contact lenses such as<br />

SofLens® daily disposable<br />

Let’s get<br />

Motivated!<br />

Studies show that exercise is<br />

not only good for your overall<br />

health and well being, but<br />

great for your eyes as well!<br />

And if that’s not enough<br />

motivation, trainer to the<br />

stars, Matt Roberts has<br />

three easy steps to help<br />

keep you on the straight<br />

and narrow…<br />

I would strongly suggest that you<br />

thoroughly plan your goals for the<br />

next few months - fix targets to<br />

achieve on a weekly basis.<br />

Give yourself small, attainable<br />

goals. Rather than thinking<br />

about losing two stone, you<br />

are thinking about losing two<br />

stone by your summer holiday,<br />

but, more importantly, you are<br />

focusing on losing two pounds<br />

this week.<br />

List all the reasons why you have<br />

failed in the past, e.g. you like<br />

chocolate, you hate running, you<br />

love alcohol, you get stressed with<br />

the kids and eat carbohydrates!<br />

Pick off the three things that<br />

you think are the easiest to<br />

change, and it is these three<br />

things that form your first<br />

week’s short term goals.<br />

It’s amazing how quickly<br />

the long term goal seems<br />

more attainable - and really<br />

not quite as difficult as you<br />

think - when you focus on<br />

the short term.<br />

Trying to change too much<br />

too quick can be fatal, so<br />

don’t bite off more than<br />

you can chew and you will<br />

benefit enormously.<br />

BROW BEATING<br />

When choosing the perfect<br />

suggests opting for two shades<br />

darker than your hair colour for<br />

optimum results.<br />

<strong>Eye</strong><br />

on the facts<br />

<strong>Eye</strong>brow threading<br />

n Threading is an increasingly popular,<br />

natural and precision way to remove<br />

unwanted hair from the brows<br />

n Thread is twisted and rolled along the<br />

surface of the skin, entwining the<br />

hairs and removing them at the root<br />

n It’s considered less painful than other<br />

shaping methods as it targets<br />

individual hairs with minimum<br />

skin irritation<br />

What is eye brow<br />

threading?<br />

It’s a hair removal technique<br />

using a cotton thread that is<br />

manipulated in a way that pulls<br />

hair out from the root.<br />

depending on the technician<br />

this can be done in a very<br />

precise, clean manner.<br />

Where did it originate<br />

from?<br />

<strong>Eye</strong>brow threading originated<br />

in India, hundreds of years ago.<br />

Is it better than other<br />

methods?<br />

It’s pure preference. The<br />

results are the same as waxing<br />

and tweezing in that hairs<br />

are pulled from root. It just<br />

depends what you prefer, that’s<br />

why we offer all services at the<br />

Brow Studio.<br />

Can it be done at home?<br />

unfortunately not, unless you<br />

know how to manipulate the<br />

Shavata’s guide to arches to adore<br />

After the bold and daring<br />

eyebrows of last season,<br />

to be on trend in ‘09 your<br />

brows should be full yet<br />

perfectly groomed… but be<br />

warned, full does not<br />

translate as bushy.<br />

“The shape you want is<br />

strong and thick, but still<br />

arched. A straight thick<br />

brow can make you look<br />

surly and boyish, where as<br />

an arch adds character and<br />

gives a sensual look to the<br />

eyes,” says Shavata.<br />

To find your natural arch<br />

brush your brows upwards<br />

with a brow brush & comb<br />

and study the shape: the<br />

highest point should peak<br />

at the outer edge of your iris<br />

and the brow should taper<br />

off at the outer corner of<br />

your eye.<br />

getting the balance right<br />

is essential. Shavata says:<br />

Shavata’s Expert <strong>Eye</strong>brow Kit<br />

Brow Brush & Comb (£6.50)<br />

<strong>Eye</strong>brow Pencil (£7.00)<br />

Brow Tamer (£13.00)<br />

“never pluck out the very<br />

long hairs, as these give your<br />

brows shape - if you alter the<br />

natural shape your brows<br />

will be out of sync with your<br />

bone structure. <strong>Eye</strong>brows<br />

should enhance your natural<br />

beauty not distort it. Pluck<br />

below the arch, between the<br />

brows and tidy up all the<br />

stray hairs but leave the rest.”<br />

But what if you have already<br />

spent years over-plucking?<br />

unfortunately for some your<br />

eyebrows may never regain<br />

their natural shape so you<br />

need to use an eyebrow<br />

pencil. natural is the key<br />

word this season, thin<br />

caterpillar like eyebrows<br />

have never been en vogue<br />

and never will be!<br />

Finally to control any<br />

wayward hairs, smooth your<br />

brows with a brow gel and<br />

comb them in the direction<br />

you want.<br />

Curly girl eyelash curlers<br />

Using eyelash curlers for<br />

the fi rst time? They can<br />

look a little terrifying to<br />

begin with, but they’re the<br />

key to creating the most<br />

luxuriant of lashes!<br />

Here’s how to<br />

get it right:<br />

1. Keep it clean – you can apply other eye<br />

make-up such as eyeliner beforehand, but<br />

don’t apply mascara until after you curl<br />

2. Hold the curler open and place your upper<br />

lashes onto the lower pad<br />

3. Slowly, close the curler and count to fi ve<br />

4. Gently open the curler and remove your<br />

lashes from the mouth<br />

5. Follow with a coat or two of volumising<br />

mascara for dramatic effect!<br />

Gok’s top tips for specs wearers<br />

Style guru Gok Wan knows that glasses<br />

are a fabulous accessory and not just an<br />

optical necessity.<br />

“Glasses come in so many different shapes and<br />

sizes, which can dramatically change your look.<br />

The secret is to make the most of your best<br />

features and play down your least using a<br />

combination of colour and shape. Frames, colours<br />

and styles can also reflect your personality so<br />

never be afraid to experiment.”<br />

If you’re a specs wearer, or just want to change<br />

your appearance with a pair of glasses, Gok has<br />

seven top tips to keep your look sin-free:<br />

1. Frames should be no higher than the line of your<br />

eyebrows. The lower edge should not sit on your<br />

cheeks - even when you smile - and the frames no<br />

wider than the width of your face at the temples<br />

2. A thin or clear bridge can add width between<br />

close-set eyes and a coloured bridge will make<br />

wide-set eyes appear closer together<br />

3. Oval frames are best for a square face as they<br />

soften the jaw line. Avoid thin, angular styles and<br />

those with colour emphasis on the bottom rim<br />

4. Angular or geometric styles are best for a round<br />

face. They draw attention to the top half of<br />

your face<br />

5. An oval face looks great in most styles! Be<br />

adventurous and try modern geometric shapes,<br />

which are stylish and fashionable<br />

6. A long face with high cheekbones requires wide<br />

frames with a strong top line. Avoid small, square<br />

shapes – opt for a style with all over colour<br />

7. A heart-shaped face can wear slender, rounded or<br />

square styles without decorative detail on the<br />

temples. Avoid styles which are wider at the top,<br />

these will reflect the face shape rather than<br />

balance it<br />
