1) Wear sunglasses even on the coldest, cloudiest days of winter, dangerous high-energy ultraviolet (UV) rays can penetrate through the clouds so wear sunglasses with UVA or UVB protection, even on cloudy winter days. 2) Put on a hat To keep UV rays off your face and out of your eyes, put on a wide-brimmed hat. 3) Keep your eyes moist Use eye drops to keep your eyes moist. Redirect air coming from the vents, and add moisture to the air in the room by using a humidifier. 4) Protect your eyes Wash your hands frequently and refrain from touching your eyes throughout winter to protect your eyes from any risk of pinkeye. Make an appointment with your eye doctor for treatment if you do experience pinkeye. 5) Visit your optometrist. An optometrist can test your vision, diagnose vision problems, provide treatment for some eye conditions, and manage vision changes. Additionally, your optometrist can undertake routine screenings to detect vision problems early on, when they are most treatable.
