Perimenopause, Menopause & Dry Eyes
Hormones can affect more than mood, sleep, and hot flashes — they can impact your eyes, too.
If your eyes feel dry, gritty, irritated, watery, tired, or sensitive to light, it may not be “just allergies” or “just getting older.”
Your eyes feel it. You don’t have to just live with it.
Wait… hormones can affect
my eyes?
Yes. Hormonal shifts during perimenopause and menopause can contribute to changes in tear production, inflammation, and ocular surface comfort.
That means your eyes may feel:
-
Dry
-
Gritty
-
Burning
-
Watery
-
Tired
-
Sensitive to light
-
Blurry on and off
-
Uncomfortable in contacts
WTH is happening to my eyes?
As hormones fluctuate, your tear film may become less stable. When your tears evaporate too quickly or don’t protect the eye surface well enough, dry eye symptoms can show up fast.
Less moisture. More irritation. A whole lot of “why do my eyes feel like this?”
Dry eye is common.
Ignoring it shouldn’t be.
Dry eye can affect your comfort, vision, contact lens wear, screen time, makeup routine, and overall quality of life.
The good news? You don’t have to guess your way through eye drops forever.
At Lauren Zimski MD, we look at what’s really contributing to your symptoms and create a personalized plan for your eyes.
