❄️👁️ How Cold Weather Impacts Eye Health 👁️❄️

Cold, dry air and indoor heating reduce moisture in the eyes, causing irritation, burning, redness, and blurred vision. Winter air also speeds up evaporation of the tear film that protects the eye’s surface, making symptoms worse—especially for those with dry eye disease. Protect your eyes this season and stay ahead of winter discomfort with Ross Eye Institute.
