How Winter Weather Affects Your Eyes (and What You Can Do About It)

December 1, 2025 | Protect your Eyes, Refresh Your Blink, Winter Eye Comfort

Ever noticed how your eyes feel a little different in the winter? You might blink more after stepping outside or rub your eyes in the evening without really thinking about it. Some days, the glare off your windshield seems sharper than usual. Other times, the heat running indoors leaves your eyes feeling dry before the day’s halfway over.

Even if you don’t normally deal with eye irritation, winter can introduce new discomfort. The air holds less moisture, indoor heating makes it drier still, and sunlight reflecting off snow can wear on your eyes faster than expected.

This blog takes a closer look at what causes that shift, how daily habits can make a difference, and when it’s worth checking in with your optometrist for seasonal support.
