Women and Dry Eyes: Special Considerations
Dry eye syndrome is a condition that tends to affect women more frequently and severely than men. Understanding why this is the case and how to manage it effectively is crucial for women dealing with this discomforting eye condition. This article delves into the factors contributing to the prevalence of dry eyes in women and provides tailored tips for management, highlighting Regener-Eyes as a key part of the solution.
Why Are Women More Affected?
- Hormonal Fluctuations: Changes in hormone levels, particularly during pregnancy, menopause, or as a result of oral contraceptive use, can significantly impact tear production and quality.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Women are more prone to autoimmune disorders like Sjögren's syndrome, which can lead to dry eyes.
Managing Dry Eyes in Women
- Regular Eye Exams: Routine check-ups with an eye care professional can help monitor and manage the condition effectively.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Maintaining a balanced diet rich in omega-3s, staying hydrated, and avoiding direct exposure to air currents can help alleviate symptoms.
- Mindful Screen Use: Taking regular breaks from screens and ensuring proper lighting while using digital devices can reduce eye strain.

With the right approach, including lifestyle changes and the use of specialized products like Regener-Eyes, women can achieve significant relief from dry eye symptoms.

About Regener-Eyes®:
Regener-Eyes® is an OTC Drug for use as a lubricate to prevent further irritation or to relieve dryness of the eye.
Regener-Eyes is listed with the FDA and manufactured in a facility that is registered and audited by the FDA.
“Regener-Eyes® Lite has been life-changing for me – that’s no exaggeration. I have been dealing with severe dry eyes and inflammation for over five years (a combination of meibomian gland dysfunction and aqueous deficiency). I must have tried every drop on the market in Europe and North America, including Cyclosporine drops, to little or no avail. Other conventional and costly treatments (e.g., Omega 3 supplements, punctual cautery, using a sleeping mask, etc.) only made a minimal difference. As a result, my mental health severely declined, which only worsened the dryness and inflammation.
Last year, my consultant suggested that I try a new product stocked in the clinic called Regener-Eyes ® Lite and I am so glad that I did. I started on four drops per day and have tapered to one or two per day, depending on how I feel. In my experience, Regener-Eyes ® is the only drop to give instant relief, but it has also helped me greatly in the longer term, especially in tackling inflammation and that awful “burning” sensation. I don’t need as many rewetting drops as I used to get through the day. Regener Eyes ® Lite has been worth every cent. I still live with severe dry eye disease (and likely always will), but my condition feels much more manageable. Please, please, never discontinue this product!”
