Contact Lenses in Winter

Filed Under Eyewear Knowledge 



Everyone who wears contact lenses knows that winter is a rough month on the eyes. With the colder weather comes dryer skin and eyes, meaning contacts can rub and scratch when the air is drier. Here are a few tips to easing your winter eye pain this season, and enjoying those contacts you’ve come to love.

With disposable contacts you can put in a fresh, clean pair each morning, ensuring no residue from the previous day is left clinging to your contacts. Try Acuvue one day disposables that come in a box of 90, meaning you won’t have to worry about replacing your box for several months. For extra moisture during the winter, check out the Acuvue 1-Day Moist package with 30 lenses, which help hydrate your dry eyes all winter long.

During the winter many people forget to take care of their eyes and protect them from the sun in the same way they do all summer long. The sun is actually more dangerous in the winter because there are fewer trees to block rays, and with snow the sun can reflect off the ground into your eyes. For a new way to stay protected, check out AcuFresh’s 400 UV Protection contact lenses, which really make damage from the sun next to obsolete.

For people with eye related medical conditions, check with Optix to see if they have contact lenses that help ease pain of damage caused by stigmatism, cataracts or other diseases. Optix has specific lenses designed to hydrate your eye while providing increased vision, but also gentle enough to wear on weaker eyes.
