Did you know over 60% of women suffer from menopause dry eyes?
While hot flashes and mood changes are often associated with the menopause, one of the lesser-known symptoms of the menopause is dry eye syndrome and yet it affects 61%* of perimenopausal and menopausal women. TheraTears® Dry or Tired 50+ is an age-specific treatment that is specially designed to soothe dry or tired eyes. It helps to stabilise and restore the tear film in mature dry or tired eyes.
“As women age, it is common to experience dry, tired and irritated eyes as they naturally produce fewer tears,” says optometrist Mark Holloway from Thomas & Holloway Opticians in Dronfield. “Specifically, hormonal changes during and after the menopause can cause eyes to dry out. Reduced levels of androgens may affect tear production. HRT can also exasperate dry eye symptoms.”
TheraTears® Dry or Tired 50+ is an effective 5-in-1 eye drop specially formulated with patented technology of hyaluronic acid 0.3% and added aloe vera** to reduce eye strain, restore and provide fast relief and lasting comfort to mature dry or tired eyes. During menopause, the androgen hormone decreases which affects the glands responsible for producing the essentials oils that slow down tear evaporation.
TheraTears® Dry or Tired 50+ eye drops are preservative free and safe for contact lens wearers. Natural ingredients including aloe vera are known for their refreshing and soothing properties, ideal for mature dry or tired eyes.
Staying properly hydrated is also important for clear, sparkling eyesas is eating a well-rounded and balanced diet. Dietician, Nigel Denby, co-founder of Your Menopause by Harley Steet at Home, a Menopause support community with over 75,000 members, recommends regularly eating foods rich in antioxidants and vitamins specially related to eye health. “Carrots are the food most people instantly think of when of healthy eyes,” says Nigel, “and that’s because they are rich in vitamin A and beta carotene, both of which support eye health. However, there are several other foods that contain these vital nutrients and others to keep your eyes healthy – here are my top three:
While dry eye may be a common side effect of the menopause, with TheraTears® 50+ eye drops and good nutrition, women can find relief and manage their dry eyes.
