Steroids, UV exposure, diabetes, trauma, inflammation — all can speed up cataract formation even in younger adults. Cataracts aren’t a “senior-only” condition. They’re a lens problem with many causes.

Your eyes collect light — but your brain does the interpreting. When you misread a word, think you saw something move, or feel like colors look “different,” that’s not your imagination. That’s the eye-brain connection glitching under stress or fatigue.

– Why do some people struggle more with night driving in the winter?

Shorter days mean more time behind the wheel in the dark, and winter dryness scatters light across the cornea. This can intensify glare from headlights, especially for people with early cataracts or dry eye.

People think diabetic retinopathy creeps in slowly — but sometimes blurry vision shows up after one day of elevated blood sugar. Glucose changes the shape of the lens itself, distorting vision like a camera going out of focus.

Low vitamin D levels — super common in winter — are linked to inflammation in the eyes, increased dryness, and even higher risk for certain retinal issues. Sometimes “tired eyes” are actually “winter deficiency eyes.”

- During REM, your eyes dart rapidly, processing visual information as your brain sorts memories. Your eyes never fully clock out — they’re just working the night shift.

Snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays. Even on cloudy days, UV light scatters and overstimulates the retina. If your eyes feel sore after being outdoors, it’s because winter can be harsher than summer on your vision.

A random squiggle drifting across your vision? Normal.

Suddenly seeing dozens at once, accompanied by flashes or a shadow? Not normal. That can signal a retinal tear — and January is a common month for it due to dryness and eye rubbing.

High blood pressure, diabetes, autoimmune disorders — they often show up in your eyes before anywhere else. The retina is the only place where blood vessels can be seen directly. Your eyes tell stories the rest of the body keeps quiet. That’s why regular eye exams are so important!

Some eye diseases — like glaucoma or AMD — begin with missing details, not blurry ones. You may notice trouble with contrast, faces feeling “off,” or dark corners in your peripheral vision. The signs are subtle until they’re not.
