Win a TheraTears Eye Care Bundle for Busy Families

Life as a parent is busy. Between school runs, work deadlines, homework, after-school clubs and trying to squeeze in five minutes with a hot cup of tea, self-care often ends up at the bottom of the list.

But one area that’s easy to overlook – and increasingly important – is eye health.

With so much of family life now revolving around screens (working from home, online learning, tablets, gaming and streaming), it’s no surprise that many of us experience dry, tired or irritated eyes, especially if we also wear contact lenses.

That’s why I’ve partnered with TheraTears to give one lucky reader the chance to win a practical eye care bundle designed for real family life.

What you can win

One winner will receive:

A laptop bag – perfect for work, the school gate dash, commuting or working from home
TheraTears Screen Eyes – to help soothe and refresh dry, tired eyes after long days on screens
TheraTears Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution – formulated to clean, hydrate and lubricate contact lenses for comfortable daily wear

It’s a lovely little bundle for parents juggling work and family life, contact lens wearers, or anyone spending far too many hours staring at a screen (which… let’s be honest, is most of us).

Why eye care matters for parents

Between replying to emails, helping with homework, scrolling for dinner inspiration, and finally collapsing in front of Netflix, our eyes rarely get a break.

Long periods of screen time can lead to:

Dry or gritty eyes
Eye strain and headaches
Blurred vision
Discomfort when wearing contact lenses

For parents who wear contact lenses, using a good-quality multi-purpose contact lens solution can make a real difference to comfort throughout the day.

TheraTears Multi-Purpose Contact Lens Solution is pH-balanced to suit the eye’s natural environment and is designed to:

Remove protein residue from lenses
Retain moisture with hyaluronic acid
Soothe with aloe vera
Help keep lenses clean, hydrated and comfortable

Small changes like this can make busy days feel just that bit easier.

New to contact lenses?

Contact lens specialist Jeff Jacobs from Oculus in Norwich explains:

“Trying contact lenses for the first time can be life changing in many ways, but comfort is the key. The right lens solution helps reduce dryness and irritation, keeping eyes feeling fresh and comfortable. Paired with good sleep, regular eye tests and being mindful of screen habits, it can make a real difference to contact lens wearers.”

His top tips for parents thinking about making the switch:

1. Get properly fitted

Always visit an optometrist so your lenses fit comfortably and safely.

2. Keep hygiene simple

Wash and dry hands before touching lenses and always use fresh solution.

3. Build up slowly

Start with short wear times and increase gradually.

4. Stay hydrated

A good lens solution helps keep eyes comfortable all day.

5. Take screen breaks

Even five minutes away from a screen can help tired eyes recover.
