The Most Common Causes for Blurred Vision in Winter
Winter in Surrey often brings beautiful scenery, but the cold weather can also wreak havoc on your vision. If you’ve noticed your eyesight becoming blurry or hazy during the colder months, environmental factors are likely the culprit.
The most common causes include:
✅ Dry Eyes: Cold outdoor air and indoor heating strip moisture from your eyes, causing the tear film to evaporate too quickly.
✅ Reduced Blinking: We tend to blink less when focusing on screens indoors, which worsens dryness and irritation.
✅ UV Reflection: Even in winter, UV rays (especially reflecting off wet or snowy surfaces) can cause photokeratitis (sunburn of the eye), leading to temporary blurriness.
