Any other cycclists out there???

Hello fellow AN warriors... I have been back on my bike for a few months and notice that when I ride into the wind and it's below 45 degrees or so my eyelid "freezes" up and I am unable to blink- and causes me to see double. Frustrating for sure during parts of my ride...as the morning warms up or I turn my back to the wind, my vision/eyelid/blinking ability return to normal.  WHAT is going on??? Thanks!!

I have had something similar.  I noticed it in the fall (about four months after my surgery).  I walk to work every day and in a cold wind my eye would get blurry on the AN side. My doc said it was probably that the facial nerve was still healing if it took some trauma during the surgery and that it could improve over time.  It has and I don't generally notice it any more. 

don't know if that's what's up with you, but maybe could be.  He also said that it could heal over time, but that nerves heal very slowly.

I bikejor, so preferably most of my biking is done in cold temps, the colder the better. I wear ski goggles now all the time when bikejoring to keep my eyes moist and unfrozen.

Thank you for your responses...I was thinking about getting some different sunglasses- maybe motorcycle to keep out the wind! This morning was tough and frustrating!

Is it still happening to you? That sounds frustrating! If you're dealing with this issue frequently, maybe it's time for a change. I would probably check out the sundance catalog and get myself a new pair of sunglasses for sure. They have some great styles that could help you feel more comfortable while adding a fresh look. Plus, it's always nice to invest in something that combines both fashion and function
