@medical.message: Perimenopause dry eyes are no joke 😩 Gritty, burning eyes, contacts you can't stand, and watery eyes all at once? Dropping estrogen can cut tear production, so menopause dry eye is real. Screen time or hormones? 🤷🏾‍♀️ #perimenopause #dryeyes #menopausesymptoms #hormoneimbalance #womenover40

Yes! 💜 Hormonal changes during perimenopause can contribute to dry, gritty eyes. But here’s what many women don’t realize: Your tears have an outer oily (lipid) layer that prevents evaporation and an underlying watery (aqueous) layer that provides moisture. If the oily layer is deficient, the watery layer evaporates too quickly. That’s why simply adding watery drops may not provide lasting relief. The drops need to spread across and stabilize the tear film—not necessarily penetrate deeper into the eye. I recommend preservative-free artificial tears. Refresh Optive Mega-3 PF is a good option Sis, because it contains lipids that help support the outer tear layer. Systane Hydration PF is another option for improving lubrication. The key is choosing drops that address WHICH part of your tear film isn’t functioning properly. Not all dry eyes are the same! 👩🏾‍⚕️💜 Thanks for sharing.
