the lacrimal gland naturally reduces.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This can lead to insufficient water (aqueous) production, and significantly affect the eye\u2019s ability to maintain moisture.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Medications<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Many adults over the age of 50 begin to take medications for conditions that are more prevalent among the older population, such as hypertension, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p><b>Many times, these conditions or the medications prescribed to manage these conditions contain side effects that include dry eye, or increase your risk of developing DES<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Menopause<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Menopause is a common cause of DES in women above the age of 50.<\/p>\n<p><b>Approximately 61 percent of perimenopausal and menopausal women are affected by DES.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, around 38 percent of post-menopausal women in the U.S. use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to manage their menopausal symptoms\u2014 a treatment that has been closely linked to DES.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Meibomian gland degeneration\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The meibomian glands in the eyelids produce the essential oil and lipids required to lower the evaporation rate of the tears.<\/p>\n<p><b>As we age, these glands become blocked more easily, and can even begin to degenerate. This can lead to reduced or inadequate oil production and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/dry-eye\/meibomian-gland-dysfunction\/\">meibomian gland dysfunction<\/a> (MGD).<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The most common type of MGD is called obstructive MGD. This occurs when the meibomian glands become blocked or clogged by thick secretions.\u00a0 Obstructive MGD prevents the oil from reaching the eye\u2019s surface and results in quicker tear evaporation.<\/p>\n<h2><b>What can you do to alleviate dry eyes?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>If you are experiencing symptoms of DES, schedule an appointment for an eye exam.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Over-the-counter (OCT) remedies<\/b>, such as artificial tears eye drops, gels and ointments can provide relief for mild to moderate symptoms. Though, if your symptoms are more severe or persistent, there is a wide variety of effective dry eye treatments that can significantly reduce or eliminate your symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hydrate <\/b>throughout the day, ensuring that you drink at least 8 cups of water per day. Not only will increasing your water intake help you to maintain your overall health, it will also help your eyes stay moist and reduce dry eye symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><b>Humidifiers <\/b>can be placed around your home to increase the humidity and moisture in your environment. This is not only beneficial for your skin and respiratory system, but to your eyes as well.<\/p>\n<p><b>Reduce screen time<\/b> or at least take frequent breaks from your digital device throughout the day. Using the computer and watching television has been linked to reduced blinking, which can cause your eyes to feel dry and irritated and lead to other dry eye symptoms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LEARN MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/general-practice-optometry\/eye-conditions\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1627371425620000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFAkq20Jd9C3VzyQMS6lJ_Six2mcA\">Guide to Eye Conditions<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.optometrists.org\/practice-search\/\"><b>Speak to an eye doctor<\/b><\/a> if your symptoms persist or worsen.
