Use of Contact Lenses During Covid-19

Although there is no scientific evidence that contact lens wear is problematic during this pandemic, the research literature is clear that to prevent contact lens infections due to bacteria, viral and fungal diseases, contact lens wearers must remember the following: 1) Wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds with soap and warm water and dry completely. 2) Don’t use expired solutions and don’t top up or reuse solutions. 3) Replace cases at least monthly and keep them clean and dry daily. 4) Use daily disposable contact lenses if possible. 5) Don’t wear contact lenses when you are ill. 6) Don’t sleep with contact lenses on.

Practice Makes Perfect

When adjusting to new dentures you may notice minor differences in your speech. Lisping or whistling is not unusual. It may take a week or two to adjust, but natural speech will return with practice. Speaking in front of a mirror and reading aloud are excellent exercises to speed up progress. Swallowing before speaking will help to secure the denture in place. Staying hydrated is important as you may experience a dry mouth, which can inhibit proper suction and your denture may drop when speaking. If the problem is chronic, your denturist may be able to make other recommendations.

Homeopathy and Chronic Disease

Do you live with aches and pains because there is no other option? Homeopathy offers a holistic and complementary treatment to both chronic and acute diseases. It individualizes patient care by focusing on how symptoms of disease manifest in you, and not on the disease itself. Using homeopathy, chronic disease is manageable in a gentle, effective, and rapid manner. Homeopathy is an individualized branch of natural medicine that stimulates the body’s innate ability to heal. Each person manifests disease in their own unique way, so homeopathy uses thorough case-taking to find the most individualized remedy for each patients symptoms.
