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.

If you are having issues this winter, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

❄️ Did You Know? ❄️
Snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays, which means your eyes are actually exposed to more sunlight in winter, not less.

With the snowstorm headed our way, that bright white snow can act like a mirror, bouncing UV rays directly into your eyes. This increased exposure can lead to eye strain, irritation, and even conditions like photokeratitis (often called snow blindness).

Even on cloudy winter days, UV rays still pe*****te through the clouds and reflect off snow-covered surfaces. That’s why protecting your eyes during winter weather is just as important as it is in summer.

🕶️ Winter Eye Safety Tip:
Wear UV-protective sunglasses or goggles when outdoors, especially after snowfall, and limit prolonged exposure when the sun is reflecting off fresh snow.

Trivia Answer Reveal! 👀 The correct answer is C. The Iris
The iris is the colored part of your eye, and it plays a big role in your vision. Its main job is to control how much light enters the eye by adjusting the size of the pupil.
• In bright light, the iris makes the pupil smaller to protect your eyes
• In low light, it opens the pupil wider to let more light in
• It also gives your eyes their unique color

Pretty amazing how much work this small part of the eye does every day!
If it’s been a while since your last eye exam, we’re here to help keep your eyes healthy and seeing their best.

Did you get Monday’s trivia answer right? The correct answer is B!

The average person blinks 15–20 times per minute. That’s over 1,000 blinks an hour and up to 20,000 blinks a day, all working behind the scenes to keep your eyes comfortable and protected. Each blink spreads tears across the surface of your eyes, helping prevent dryness, irritation, and blurry vision.

But here’s the catch: when we stare at screens, we blink less. This can lead to dry eye symptoms like burning, redness, and eye fatigue.
If your eyes don’t feel as refreshed as they should, it may be time for an eye exam. At Family Focus Eye Care, we can evaluate your eye health and recommend treatments to keep your eyes comfortable and seeing clearly.

Did you know? 👀
Your eyes don’t actually see on their own—they send light signals to your brain, and your brain does the interpreting! That teamwork is what allows you to recognize colors, shapes, and movement every day.

If your vision feels off, it might be time to check in on the whole system. Schedule an eye exam and keep your eyes and brain working their best!

Some animals see colors we can’t. Bees, for example, can see ultraviolet light to help them find flowers. Humans see color using three special cells in the eyes called cones that detect red, green, and blue. These cones work together to create the wide range of colors we see every day. When one of them doesn’t work the same way, it can lead to color blindness or changes in color vision.

At Family Focus Eyecare, comprehensive eye exams help us understand how your eyes see the world and catch vision concerns early.
