No they won't, its genetic.
I suffer from a similar malady and its just something I try to avoid. But its not the cold (<55 degrees), as much as its the wind -- a dry wind. Riding, running, or even walking into a cold wind and not only do my eyes start to tear, but my noise starts running like a faucet. It makes riding so unenjoyable I just avoid going out altogether.

Obviously you wouldn't buy/wear them for this purpose alone, I just thought I'd share my insight (or rather lack thereof).
Infection much? I could fill half a database from issue with contacts.
