The ophthalmologist said that cold in the temperature range of 0…-20 °C is not dangerous for eye health and its influence cannot lead to vision problems. Specialist Sergey Khomyakov spoke about this in more detail.
According to the doctor, the blinking movements of the eyelids help the eyeball not to get cold. Such phenomena as frostbite of the eyes are extremely rare. Frostbite or conjunctivitis may occur at temperatures of -50…-60 °C. Typically, such weather conditions are recorded in the Oymyakon region.
Being in the middle lane, the use of any protective equipment is not required. In severe cold, you need to use special goggles.
