Ever notice that your dry eye symptoms flare up during the colder months? ❄️
You're not alone! Winter brings several factors that can make your eyes feel extra irritated, including:
❄️Cold, Dry Air-- Outdoor air has less moisture, leading to faster tear evaporation.
🔥Indoor Heating-- Forced air and heaters create a dry environment that can irritate your eyes.
🌬️Wind Exposure-- Chilly winds can strip away your tears, leaving your eyes feeling raw and inducing reflex tearing (overwatering).
👁️Less Blinking-- Cold air and increased screen time indoors cause us to blink less, leading to more eye strain and dryness.
The good news? You don't have to suffer through another dry, uncomfortable winter!
