David Knight is a retired contact lens fitting consultant.
He frequently experiments with—and evaluates—new contact lens offerings. David was kind enough to help us conduct research on the Eiyan brand (formerly spelled “Eiyin”).
He’s sold. And so, I interviewed David about his experience with the Eiyan brand of monthly contact lenses now available exclusively at EZContacts. Following are the highlights:
The question, “Doc, why are my eyes always red?” is commonly asked of me by patients. Red eyes are screaming for attention and rarely improve on their own without proper treatment.
There are several reasons your eyes can be red, many of which can be serious and should be assessed and treated by an eye doctor. Though over-the-counter eye drops exist to “get the red out,” they are only a quick fix and only mask the true eye problem.
Your doctor may ask you questions about your red eyes at your visit.
As the winter melts away and the days start to get longer, it’s time to start thinking about your summertime accessories. Tried and true frames are that for a reason, but playing around with different sunglasses styles and trends can be the best part of getting dressed.

Whether you’re looking for an added touch of glam or a way to infuse a bit of nostalgia, sunglasses are a summer accessory you should have fun with. We’ve gathered seven warm weather accessories and perfect sunglasses pairings—whether you want your look to transport you to the coast of Italy or the streets of New York City.
An estimated one out of every 100 Americans is affected by a condition known as Graves’ disease. Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that leads to an overactive thyroid, a condition more commonly known as hyperthyroidism. Those diagnosed with Graves’ disease are also at an increased risk of developing Graves’ ophthalmopathy, also known as thyroid eye disease (TED).
In fact, it’s estimated that one out of every four people with Graves’ disease will experience some form of TED. In addition, and according to the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), TED is five times more common in women but more likely to be more severe in men.
For most, symptoms of TED usually appear within six months of the appearance of symptoms associated with Graves’ disease.
Have you ever wondered about the technology behind your contacts? What are they made of? Why do some brands become dry very quickly? Why are some to be worn for a month and others only for a day?
The technology in your contact lenses has rapidly advanced in the last 5-10 years, much like your phone’s technology. The contact lens market grows each year with the introduction of 2-3 new types of lenses of varying materials and designs.
The contact lens brands of 2022 are more breathable, more comfortable, and healthier for your eyes. More options exist for patients with astigmatism, computer users, and those over 40 wearing reading glasses over their contacts. A contact lens exists for nearly every eyeglass prescription and can be customized for your specific vision needs.
