As the vibrant colors of autumn leaves begin to fall, the change in seasons brings more than just cooler temperatures. Shorter days and longer nights mean we rely more on artificial light, and the shift in weather often impacts our overall health, including our eyes. Whether it’s the glare of low autumn sun, more time spent indoors staring at screens, or the onset of winter wind and cold, your eyes have to adjust to new conditions. That’s why regular eye tests are particularly important during this time of year.
At J.HYDE, we understand how the changing seasons can affect your eye health, and we’re here to help you protect it. That’s why we offer free eye tests with every eyewear purchase, ensuring that your vision remains as sharp as your autumn style.
How Autumn and Winter Can Impact Your Eyes
-
Glare from Lower Sunlight In autumn, the sun sits lower in the sky, creating a sharper glare—especially during morning and evening commutes. This can cause squinting, eye strain, and even headaches if your eyes aren’t properly protected. Regular eye tests can ensure your prescription is up to date, and you can opt for anti-glare coatings that help reduce discomfort from direct sunlight.
-
Increased Screen Time As the weather gets colder, we naturally spend more time indoors, often in front of screens—whether for work or entertainment. Increased screen time can lead to digital eye strain, causing dry eyes, blurry vision, and difficulty focusing. An eye test will help assess whether you need lenses specifically designed to reduce screen-related discomfort, such as blue light-blocking filters.
-
Dry Eyes from Cold Winds and Indoor Heating The transition from chilly outdoor air to warm, dry indoor heating can wreak havoc on your eyes. Cold winds can dry out your eyes, while indoor heating can make the air even drier, leading to irritation, redness, or that familiar gritty feeling. During your J.HYDE eye test, our optometrists can suggest solutions, such as moisturizing eye drops or lenses that reduce dryness, to help you stay comfortable through the season.
-
Seasonal Allergies While many people associate allergies with spring, autumn can bring its own set of allergens like mold and dust mites, which can irritate your eyes. If you’re noticing itchy, watery eyes more frequently, a regular eye exam can help rule out other issues and provide solutions to minimize discomfort during allergy season.
