Dry Eyes and Menopause Connection

Dry eyes? It’s a big deal for many women going through menopause—and not just a minor annoyance. Hormonal shifts, especially falling estrogen and progesterone, mess with your tear film, causing gritty, burning sensations and blurred vision. While hormone therapy might help some, the science is murky—some studies show improvement, others warn it could worsen symptoms. The good news? You’ve got options: artificial tears, warm compresses, eyelid hygiene, screen breaks, and humidifiers can ease discomfort. For stubborn cases, prescription drops or in-office treatments may be the answer. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
