Winter storms can be tough on your eyes, especially if you struggle with dry eye❄️
Cold air, strong winds, and low humidity can cause tears to evaporate faster, leading to burning, redness, blurry vision, and irritation.
If you have to be outside during the storm, protect your eyes by:
• Wearing wraparound sunglasses or goggles to block wind and cold air
• Using eye drops before and after being outdoors
• Blinking often to keep your eyes properly lubricated
• Avoiding direct exposure to heaters or car vents blowing toward your face
If dry eye symptoms worsen or become uncomfortable, our team is here to help. We offer advanced dry eye therapy and customized treatment options to keep your eyes comfortable year-round.
