My eyes feel drier since going through menopause? Is this normal?

This isn’t unheard of. It’s believed that, as your hormones fluctuate during menopause, the composition of your tears changes which can result in drier eyes (although, often, those with dry eyes can suffer from watery eyes too!).

If you want to learn more about dry eyes during menopause, our Menopause Expert Eileen explains why dry eyes can occur, as well as a few other eye problems which are common in menopause in her blog '5 eye problems to look out for in menopause'.

You could also try our soothing Eye Drops to help lubricate your eyes. These contain a combination of the herb Euphrasia (also known as Eyebright) in addition to hyaluronic acid which helps to keep your eyes nice and moisturised. 

These are safe to be used alongside contact lenses, unlike many conventional eye drops.
