Contact lenses in winter
If you are wondering about your contact lenses during the winter, there is nothing to worry about – your contacts won’t freeze.

You can be calm about the contact lenses, but you have to be more cautious about something else – the sunburn.
Sunburn in winter
Yes, it is absolutely possible – your eyes CAN get sunburned. It might happen when your eyes were exposed to intense UV rays. The symptoms are blurry vision, burning sensation and very sore eyes. And all this goes for 24 to 72 hours. This burning might happen while you ski without your goggles.

All of it!
