Winter’s freezing temperatures can put your health at risk if you don’t take the proper precautions and follow specific safety measures. When it’s cold outside, you’re sure to be bundling your toddler up to keep them safe and warm when they go out, but what are you doing to protect their eyes?

What they don’t realize is that the winter glare can be even more harmful to a toddler’s eyes because of the snow’s reflective properties – not only do our eyes catch the UV rays on their way down from the sun, but also on the way up after it bounces off the white snow.
Fortunately, there are several ways to keep your toddler’s eyes healthy and protected during the winter months. Read on to learn everything you need to know to keep your child’s eyes safe in times of colder weather.
