The winters can disturb the eye as much as the hot summers. The effect of the sun is present all through the year. The exposure to ultraviolet light during the winter can harm the eyes. The cold and dry air can also irritate the eyes.  Using indoor heaters can warm the room air but can lead to excessive dryness and this needs to be overcome by the use of humidifiers. The warm and dry air has to be overcome and the eyes have to remain moistened. People who use contact lenses need to be extra careful as the dry air can make it very uncomfortable. Outdoor exposure needs to be limited. Soft contact lenses which have high water content should be used. If the contact lens dries, the shape can change and this can stick to the eye and cause pain and redness.  Dry skin around the lids can be a problem and this can be overcome by using proper lid moisturizing creams.  In the hills or where there is snow one needs to be extra careful to avoid the ultraviolet rays of the sun. The snow can reflect the rays and this can lead to eye damage which eventually leads to problems like cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. So one should wear ultraviolet light protective glasses.  Dr Ramesh Murthy at AXIS EYE CLINIC has more than 20 years’ experience and has trained at the best eye institutes in India and abroad.
