Menopause and eye health: What's the connection?

Despite Dry Eyes being a common symptom of ageing, it is one of the lesser-known symptoms of menopause. Menopause can often worsen this symptom due to the natural decrease in oestrogen and androgens. You might feel as though you’re struggling to read or feel like your eyes are gritty and irritated. As a menopausal woman, this is usually nothing to worry about as around 10% of women going through the menopause experience these symptoms. Dry Eyes are caused by an issue in the production of tears, or that the tears are ineffective. Without the complex mixture of water, mucus and oils, your eyes can tend to feel gritty and dry, which can be highly irritating when trying to concentrate, at work for example.
