Let’s face it: the holidays can be stressful. Whether you’re elbowing department store crowds, wrestling strings of lights onto a tree that seems to grow an inch every second, or traveling over the river and through the woods on a cramped, airless seat in coach to get to Grandma’s house, you may find your holiday cheer fast disappearing.

This time of year, newspapers and magazines are filled with tips on how to get through the holiday season, but very few deal with that most crucial part of the body: the eyes.

The risk can be just as significant on gray, overcast days as on clear, sunny ones.

2. Don’t shop til you drop

It’s not just the crowds that wear you out; all that artificial lighting can also make you feel fatigued and cranky. Plus, some folks are just sensitive to too much visual stimulation-between your fellow shoppers and the loads of merchandise, your eyes don’t get to rest.
