Pedestrian safety: Halloween often involves walking at night, increasing the risk of pedestrian-vehicle accidents.

Costume dangers: Masks can block vision, and costumes made of flammable materials can increase the risk of fire.

Beware of Ultraviolet (UV) Danger in the Fall months.

In autumn, clouds usually blanket the sky. Even so, you should not dismiss the UV light that still passes through them. Despite the cloudy surroundings, wear your UV protective eyewear. Clouds cannot filter UV rays. The radiation will still reach your skin and your eyes. You can increase your UV protection by wearing polarized sunglasses and a hat. Doing this can make your time outdoors safer and more pleasant.

Fall allergies can cause itchy eyes due to increased levels of airborne allergens like pollen and mold, especially ragweed, as well as from the cooler, drier air common in fall.

Symptoms include itching, redness, and watering, and while you can use over-the-counter antihistamine eye drops for relief, avoiding allergens by wearing sunglasses, cleaning air vents, and staying indoors on high pollen days can help. A cold compress can soothe itching, and you should avoid rubbing your eyes, which can worsen symptoms.

If symptoms are severe or persistent, consult a doctor to rule out other underlying conditions.

Vision problems driving at night, known as night blindness (nyctalopia), stem from underlying eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, myopia, and astigmatism, or other issues such as dry eyes and diabetes. Symptoms include difficulty seeing in dim light, halos or glare around lights, and blurred vision. It's crucial to see an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye exam to identify the specific cause and receive appropriate treatment, which can range from corrective lenses and antireflective coatings to addressing underlying medical conditions.
