This Winter, Protect Your Eyes ❄️👀
Cold air and low humidity can affect your eyes more than you think.
Dryness, irritation, burning, and a gritty feeling are common as tear production naturally reduces in winter. Indoor heaters and long screen hours can make it even worse.
Winter also sees a rise in viral conjunctivitis and allergic eye issues, especially among contact lens users, who may feel additional discomfort due to reduced moisture.
And remember — even in winter, UV rays are still strong. Sunlight reflecting off buildings, roads, or water can strain your eyes, making UV-protective sunglasses a must.
🧊 Simple steps for comfort:
✔ Stay hydrated
✔ Use warm compresses
✔ Take regular breaks from screens
✔ Wear UV-blocking sunglasses
If irritation or dryness continues, don’t ignore it.
