Visions of light

Ciba Vision, one of the world’s leading brands in contact lenses, introduced O2Optix breathable contact lens. The Rockwell Tent was lit in hues of blue with visuals, which showed clear and bright images, signifying a breathtaking ambiance brought about by lenses that will change how you see the world. Inside, the witty and sexy Giselle Sanchez introduced the product in a talk show setting reminiscent of the big O herself, Oprah.

Throughout the event, attendees were able to experience the breathtaking new contact lens, which can be worn for up to six nights straight without cleaning or handling. Aptly called O2Optix, the lens, made out of silicon hydrogel, allows five times more oxygen into the eye than regular contact lens.

Visitors from the Ciba Vision Asia Pacific regional office in Singapore, Tim Grant and Jo-Ann Choo, proved to be interesting guests as they unveiled both O2Optix and its perfect match Solocare Aqua lens solution and answered questions as oxygen experts of the day.

The event was capped off by a breathtaking performance by the fabulous singer Ana Fegi as she entertained the crowd to roaring applause.

Victoria Toda

Who has the most attractive eyes?

My friend Prena. She has these bluish-green eyes with dark lashes.

Chicho Saurez

What makes every weekend night out a breathtaking experience?

Meeting up with the usual suspects, because their stories are always so interesting and amazing.

Philip Cu-Unjieng

What would make your eyes roll?

Watching a Ferris Wheel with my kids in a gondola. But seriously, it would be when people state the obvious, when eye-rolling (even if internalized) is kinder than a cutting remark.

Giselle Sanchez

What breathtaking experience would you like to enjoy with your partner?

Looking into my husband’s eyes and seeing that I will grow old with him. Now that is truly breathtaking.

Cheryl Cosim

What is the most breathtaking sight you’ve seen on EDSA?

The smog and pollution because it literally takes my breath away.

Michelle Katigbak

If your eyes could see beyond walls, which room would you be eyeing?

The writing room of author J.K. Rowling and read her computer on the heels of the Goblet of Fire movie. I re-read The Half-Blood Prince and I’m dying to know how the Harry Potter series will end.

Jeanette Romualdez

What experience in life would you consider breathtaking?

To visit Switzerland and see the mountains on your left and the river on your right.

Melissa Anglo

When was the last time you saw someone who had a breathtaking experience?

It was when I fitted 020ptix lenses onto a Canadian nurse with hay fever, who said, "This is breathtaking!"
