Comprehensive Eye Care, Dry Eye
The holiday season brings joyful parties, dazzling lights, and chilly weather—but it can also bring challenges for your eyes. The combination of harsh winter winds outdoors and dry, heated air indoors is a recipe for redness, dryness, and irritation. Plus, if you’re planning on wearing costume or colored contacts for a festive look, safety is paramount.
- To protect your vision during the celebrations:
- Shield from the Cold: Wear sunglasses outdoors, even on cloudy days, to block glare and protect your eyes from the drying effects of cold, whipping wind.
- Combat Indoor Heat: Use artificial tears (lubricating drops) frequently to keep your eyes moist when you are indoors near central heating or fireplaces.
- Handle Holiday Contacts Safely: Only use decorative lenses that have been prescribed and fitted by an eye doctor—never purchase contacts from non-medical sources like costume shops, as these can cause serious infections.
If you’re experiencing persistent redness, pain, or excessive dryness, it’s time for a professional check-up.
Don’t let eye discomfort dim your holiday sparkle!
