Has anyone thought about why our eyes tear up in colder windier environments? Our eyes have to stay moist and the cold and/or wind dries them out so our eyes start to water. Just realize that your eyes have already dried some by the time they start to tear up. It's not ideal for the health of our eyes to just "deal with it". It's ideal to prevent it from happening unless you want to deal with eye problems.
Good wrap around glasses block most of the wind and will help to retain some heat around the eyes. Eye drops provide good moisture/lubrication that can be used before and after a ride. Using it before a ride delays or stops any potential drying. It's a good idea to use it after a ride when your eyes dried out also.
