Your eyes may suffer from the cold, dry air, and increased indoor heating as winter approaches. We frequently ignore how the season affects eye health, even though many of us bundle up to protect our skin.
A variety of eye issues, such as dryness and infections, can arise in the winter, so it's critical to follow certain care guidelines.
1. Dry eyes- Eye dryness and discomfort can result from lower humidity levels caused by cold weather and indoor heating.
- To keep the air at home consistently moist, use a humidifier.
- To keep your eyes hydrated, use artificial tears or lubricating eye drops.
2. Protection against UV rays- Snow can reflect UV rays, creating glare and raising the risk of UV eye damage even though winter may not feel as sunny.
- Put on sunglasses that block UV rays, especially if you're going skiing or somewhere with snow.
- To keep light and wind from the sides, use wraparound frames.
3. Indoor heating- Long-term exposure to heating systems can cause eye and air dryness.
- To keep the moisture levels in your room at a suitable level, use a humidifier.
- To make the air more humid, keep a bowl of water close to the heater.
