***** Eyes feeling much more comfortable, not having 2 constantly put drops in. Thanks
Dry Eye Disease can become an issue for many people as we age. There are many reasons why this occurs including:
Decreased Tear Production: Aging can lead to a reduction in tear production by the lacrimal glands.
Changes in Tear Composition: The composition of our tears can change with age.
Hormonal Changes: Hormonal changes that occur with aging, particularly in peri and postmenopausal women, can affect tear production.
Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions can be associated with dry eyes.
Medications: Some medications can have side effects that contribute to dry eyes.
Decreased Reflexes: The corneal reflex may diminish with age leading to decreased tear production.
Blinking Changes: Changes to our eyelid muscles and age-related changes in blinking patterns can contribute to dry eyes.
As Dry Eye Disease has many potential causes it can affect different people in different ways. At Soothe Ocular Spa we assess your tears to help determine the type of Dry Eye that you have and work to provide you with a tailored program to manage it.
