Winter Weather and Contact Lens

12/1/2021

8 Comments

Wearing contact lenses is a great option for many people, but as the seasons change, so do the challenges for contact lens wearers. By learning more about how the winter weather may affect your eyes and wearing contacts, you can make a few adjustments to continue to wear your lenses all year long. 

How does the cold affect the eyes?

Although you may feel like your eyeballs are freezing during the coldest winter days, they are not actually becoming frozen. Still, the cold can affect your eyes. The cold air is often drying, which makes symptoms worse for people that already have dry eyes. The winter winds can also increase dryness.

If you love to sit in front of a warm fire or have the heater in your car blowing towards your face, that may also lead to eye dryness.

Some people have eye allergies that become worse in the winter. For instance, if you spend more time inside around indoor allergens, such as dust and pet dander, it may increase your eye allergy symptoms. 
​

How winter weather affects wearing lenses

If you wear contacts, the above effects of the winter weather may cause more irritation than normal. For example, wearing contacts may make your eyes dry. When you add to that cold and windy weather, you might find your eyes drier than usual during the winter.

The reduced moisture due to the harsh winter conditions may make your dry eyes have a gritty sensation even though nothing is in the eyes.  The discomfort sometimes causes people to stop wearing the lenses. Research in Clinical Optometry found that somewhere between 10 and 50 percent of people that wear contacts stop wearing them within three years due to discomfort.  
​

Tips for winter contact wearing

Just because the temperature drops and the wind picks up doesn’t mean you have to put a hold on contact lenses wearing. Consider some of the tips below to wear lenses comfortably during the cold months. 

Use eye drops: Because of the increase in dryness, it helps to add some moisture to your eyes. Stock up on artificial tears and eye drops that are compatible with contact wearing.

Drink plenty of water: Make sure you drink plenty of liquids. Staying hydrated from the inside is also helpful to make sure you have adequate tear production. Although drinks, such as hot chocolate and coffee, may warm you up, water is your best bet.

Avoid direct heat on your face: One of the first things we often do when we get inside our car in the winter is crank up the heater. Try to avoid aiming the heat directly at your face. The same goes for sitting in front of the fireplace or furnace vent. The heat source pointed directly at your face can dry your eyes out quickly.

Wash your hands: You should make it a habit to always wash your hands before touching your contacts, but in the winter months, cold and flu season may increase your risk of getting sick.

Wear sunglasses: Wearing sunglasses outside during the day is important all year long. Sunglasses provide protection against UV rays, but during the winter, glasses may also block cold winds that contribute to dry eyes.

Give your eyes a break: If your eyes become dry, consider alternating between contact lenses and glasses. Also, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations about how long you can wear your lenses. 

We hope that the above tips help you wear your contacts during the winter months. If you have any questions or concerns, we are happy to help. Also, if you would like to ask whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, call our office at 508-746-8600.

Now You Can Stop Your Break Up, Divorce or Lovers Rejection…Even If Your Situation Seems Hopeless!
I contacted a real spell caster that helped me change my husband’s heart to love and want me again, and he really did and now we are very happy together. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called dr unity, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 11 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 11 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again.thanks to dr unity . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Dr.Unity for help now..

I am Unai Martinez. Thanks to DR WATER for his good work. Finally a cure for diabetes exists. It's not a pharmaceutical drug, but a very safe all natural herbal product that restores your body's own ability to naturally control it's own blood glucose levels back to normal. I have been battling with diabetes type 2 for 12 years now, before a friend lead me to DR WATER. He said that he could cure just about any disease, but I never believed. I just decided to give it a try. I contact him that night luckily for me, he was online. He said yes he could heal me, but yet again I didn't believe, I even thought it was a scam. But I went on to give it a try. He ask some question about my health and I provided him with all he needed. And a few days later, I received a call from UPS to come collect some herbal products from DR WATER. I can't believe that after using those herbal products, I was healed and I can not stop telling people about this experience. When I went to the hospital for check up, my doctor was
surprised and he even ask for DR WATER's email DRWATERHIVCURECENTRE@GMAIL.COM, which i gave to him and have given alot of people. This indeed is a genuine solution to Diabetes that I am sharing here, not those very costly medical
treatment or a life-long use of diabetic supplements. If you need this herbal product, contact him now. He can still help you on other diseases like:
1, hepatitis
2, HIV
3, Herpes or any skin disease
4, asthma
5,HPV genital warts
6,Cancer
7,Ulcer
8, Chlamydia
9, shingles
10, Sclerosis
11, Arthritis
12, Fibroid, infertility, ovarians cysts, frequent miscarriages, premature ejaculation.
You can also contact him on his
whatsapp +2349050205019.

I WAS CURED OF HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS BY DR WATER, THE GREAT HERBALIST. 🌿☘️🌿☘️🌿☘️
i am so happy to share this testimony with the world because generally there are so many doubts about the cure of HERPES simplex virus. This is real take it serious, my name is HENRIETTE AMUNAZO and i am so happy that today i can give this testimony to the world and also help people who has been condemned just as i was. Who will believe that a herb can cure HERPES completely from the body?, i never believed that this will work, i have spend a lot of money getting drugs from the hospital to supress outbreaks, it got to a time that all i was wanted was death to come because i was broke and i already have strong outbreaks from the herpes virus. One day i was going through the internet asking questions online just to know more about the latest development in the medical sector to see if there is still hope then i stumbled on a post about this great man called DR WATER through an online friend who publicly made a testimony on how she was also cured of herpes simplex virus 2 by this herbal doctor who is well known for his strong ancient herbal practice for HERPES, HIV, WARTS and CANCER cure. At first i doubted both the woman and the doctor just as so many that see’s this post would doubt because medically it has been proven impossible but later i decided to give him a try so i emailed him. I did not believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try. He replied my mail and needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared a herbal medicine (CURE) and sent it through Online Courier Service for delivery. He gave my details to the Courier Office. They told me that 3-5 days I will receive the package and after receiving it, i took the medicine as prescribed by him at the end of 13days that the medcine lasted, he told me to go to the hospital for a test, and i went, surprisingly after the test the doctor confirm me Herpes simplex virus free, i thought it was a joke, i went to other hospitals and was also confirmed herpes free, i will say it was like a miracle. I waited to see if i will get any outbreaks again and its been 2 months now, i have not experienced any outbreak. Thank you sir for saving my life even if you cannot see this post, i shall never stop testifying the impact you made in my life by restoring back my life when i was being stigmatized and even avoided by family and friends. I promise I will always testify of your good works. if you have herpes simplex virus, HIV patient, Diabetes, human papilloma virus or genital warts, contact him and I am sure you will get cured, contact him via:

This is a great post in regards to protecting the eyes this winter season. I'll be sure to do the tips here. I want to share a clinic that specializes in eye healthcare.

I never knew that there are soft lenses that are more comfortable for the people who want them. My cousin mentioned to me last night that she is hoping to have a contact lens for her daily wear and asked if I have any idea what is the best option to consider. Thanks to this informative article, I'll be sure to tell her that it will be much better if she consults a trusted optometrist as they can answer all her inquiries.
