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.
