Intention/Problem Statement

The inspiration behind Fresh Eyes came from a need that arose during a fieldwork interview with my sister, Cass. Cass is a doctor in NYC and often has 24 hr shifts at the hospital. Cass wears contact lens to make sure she can move from patient-to-patient with ease. (Her contact lens last almost a month and must be thrown out every 26 days). Additionally, Cass has to “clean” her contacts by letting them soak in solution for at least 6 hours daily. Due to her ever-changing schedule, Cass often finds it hard to keep track of when she needs to replace her contacts with a new pair and when her contacts are properly cleaned. 

We only get one set of eyes; and unfortunately, we don't realize that we are not taking care of our eyes until the damage has been done. Not only did I feel connected to helping my sister, I also felt that the contact lens case (something plenty of people use) has not been updated or redesigned for better use.
