People with light colored eyes, such as blue or green, need to be especially careful to protect their eyes from the sun. You may be exposing less skin this time of year, but protect the skin that is exposed. That will protect you from winter dryness as well as the sun. If you're going to be out in bright sunlight for a long period of time, use sunblock on exposed areas, just as you would in the summer. This is especially important if you're going skiing or will be around snow.
Snow reflects the light, making it more intense.
