Menopause and Dry Eyes? Learn Why Lower Estrogen Disrupts Tear Balance

Are you one of the many women experiencing those stubborn dry eyes while navigating menopause? Dr. Thanh Mai explains how the drop in estrogen during menopause not only affects your general wellness but directly impacts your eye health. In this video, you’ll learn that lower estrogen results in reduced tear production through its effect on the lacrimal gland, and it also disrupts the function of the meibomian glands—the very glands that release oil to keep your tears from evaporating too quickly.

Here’s what you can expect from the discussion:

• Explanation of how a dramatic drop in estrogen translates to less tear production
• Insight into how the meibomian glands, responsible for the oil layer in your tears, are affected
• A brief look at why other menopausal symptoms like hot flashes add to the overall discomfort
• Quick, practical treatment options such as anti-inflammatory medications to boost tear production
• The role of omega 3 supplements, emphasizing the need for a high concentration of DHA and EPA
• Additional remedies including warm compresses, eyelid massage, and advanced treatments like IPL and radio frequency therapy

Dr. Mai walks you through the scientific side in a friendly, approachable manner, breaking down complex processes into everyday language. Whether you’re seeking to better understand your symptoms or looking for effective treatment ideas, this video offers clear explanations and practical advice for real-life eye care. If you’re ready to tackle those dry eyes head on, this video is just the place for you. Enjoy the insight from one of Costa Mesa’s trusted eye care experts at Insight Vision Center.
