Other then the changing weather and cosmetics, wearing of contact lens can also have an adverse effect on the eyes. There may be problems like irritation, tears and redness in the eyes. Those wearing contact lens for a prolonged time during the winter months should take special care of their eyes.          

Protect your eyes like this

Many people have Eye Dryness problems during the winter season. Due to the cold weather and the winds, the natural moisture of the eyes tend to dry up. It is advised to keep yourself warm all the time during this season and if it gets too cold, try wearing goggles. This will help protect your eyes from the biting cold.
