Salted road conditions can make matters even worse. Yet, motorists struggle on despite being blinded by the sun's glare and cause countless accidents every year. Beware of winter glare! This glare-induced "blindness" is especially prevalent during the winter months, due to the lower elevation of the sun in the sky and the extremely reflective qualities of snow and ice on the ground. The powerful glare of the winter sun can be damaging to the various layers of the eye.
