Winter can be tough on the eyes and taking good care of your eyes during the colder months can help prevent irritation and other problems.

During the winter months, you may notice you need to wear your glasses more, especially as you get older. This is because when there is less light available, your pupil expands which reduces the eye's depth of focus and means that you notice blurriness. Make sure you have good lighting, for example, a lamp near the chair where you sit to read, and that you turn it on as soon as it is getting dark.

What you wear outdoors changes with the temperature and your eyes is no exception. As temperatures fall you need to think about how you care for them so preparing and protecting for cold weather is important to your ocular well-being.
