The Right Age for Contact Lenses | UPMC HealthBeat

Just when you thought that winter is the best season because of hot chocolates and cozy fireplaces, think again. It can rather irritate your eyes because of the dry air surrounding your home.

Not only that, but you can also experience itchiness due to unwanted dryness. What can be the culprit of this? It's the low-temperature level at your home or your workplace. Because you want to stay cozy and warm during winter, you tend to turn on the heater and close the windows. Doing so lessens the humidity inside. You may experience worse impacts from this situation when you're wearing contact lenses.

On the other hand, you may get watery eyes during the coldest season. This can result from the inability of your eyes to tear — suffering from a rebound effect of releasing too much water when they dry up or get irritated.

Any sign of an eye problem should prompt a visit to your optometric center Los Angeles, CA.
