Cold weather can take a toll on more than just your skin—it can affect your eyes too. Between dry indoor air and increased exposure to UV rays, the winter season can bring unique challenges for your vision.
Common winter eye issues include:
- Dry Eyes: Use artificial tears or a humidifier to prevent dry, itchy eyes.
- UV Exposure: Snow glare increases your risk of UV damage. Wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection.
- Irritation: Cold winds can irritate your eyes. Wear protective glasses when outdoors.
