How to Protect Your Eyes This Winter: Essential Tips for Vision Health

As winter sets in, it brings unique challenges for eye health. The cold air and indoor heating can lead to dry eyes and discomfort, making it essential to adopt a winter eye care routine. Here are some tips to keep your eyes healthy this season:


1. Stay Hydrated

Dry winter air can dehydrate your body and eyes. Drink plenty of water to maintain moisture levels and consider using a humidifier at home to add moisture to the air.


2. Protect Your Eyes

When heading outdoors, wear sunglasses or goggles to shield your eyes from wind, cold, and UV rays. Even in winter, harmful UV radiation can affect your eyes.

3. Use Eye Drops

Artificial tears can provide relief for dry, irritated eyes. Look for preservative-free options to use throughout the day, especially when working in dry environments.

4. Limit Screen Time

With shorter days and longer nights, you might find yourself spending more time indoors and on screens. Practice the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away.

5. Consider LASIK

If you’re tired of dealing with glasses that fog up in winter conditions, consider LASIK or other vision correction procedures. These options can improve your vision and enhance your comfort during the colder months.

6. Schedule an Eye Exam

Winter is a great time to get your eyes checked. An eye exam can ensure your vision is at its best and address any concerns you may have about dryness or irritation.

By taking these simple steps, you can enjoy a comfortable and healthy winter season. For more personalized advice or to discuss vision correction options, contact Restivo Laser Vision today!

LASIK surgery is a widely used procedure that corrects vision by reshaping the cornea, often reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses. A common concern among patients considering LASIK is whether it can cause cataracts. The answer is no—LASIK does not cause cataracts. Cataracts develop naturally over time, independent of LASIK, and those who have had LASIK may still develop cataracts later in life.
