If your eyes feel tired by 3pm every day — this post is for you 👀

02/11/2026

Yep—counterintuitive but true. 👀💧

Think of it like an emergency sprinkler system going off instead of a steady, useful drip irrigation system.

When your eyes are dry or irritated, the surface of the eye sends a distress signal. In response, your tear glands release a flood of reflex tears. These tears are mostly water and lack the oils and mucus needed to actually lubricate and stabilize the tear film. So they spill over (hello, watery eyes) but don’t fix the dryness underneath.

If your eyes feel dry, foggy, or irritated every time you ski or ride… it’s probably not “just the wind.”

There’s a reason contacts struggle on the mountain, and most people don’t realize how much strain they’re putting on their eyes until the discomfort shows up mid-run.

Here’s the truth:
Wearing contact lenses under your ski goggles seems convenient, but the cold, dry mountain air pulls moisture from your lenses faster than normal.
The result:

Blurry vision

Dry, gritty, irritated eyes

Lenses that shift or feel “sticky”

And that constant urge to rub your eyes inside your goggles

As Dr. Shannon often tells patients:
Your eyes aren’t irritated because of the wind alone...they’re irritated because your lenses are drying out faster than your eyes can keep up.

That’s exactly why custom ski goggle inserts are becoming the preferred choice for skiers and snowboarders who want clear, stable vision all day without the dryness.

With inserts, you get:

Crisp, consistent vision

Zero fogging

No drying, shifting, or end-of-day discomfort

A full day on the mountain without dealing with contacts or glasses at all

If you’ve been toughing it out with contacts on every run, there’s a much better way to protect your eyes and enjoy the mountain.

Book a quick insert fitting at Mad River Eye Care, and give your eyes a break this season.
