How To Deal With Dry Eyes
Dry eyes are a common complaint in women, especially women that are currently going through the menopause.
The main cause of dry eyes is down to imbalances of Estrogen and other hormones. It is for this reason that females that are taking birth control pills also complain of the condition. There are a few ways that you can lower your chances of suffering with dry eyes.
Eat Better
Make sure that you are eating enough and that you are also getting enough nutrients, vitamins and minerals. If there is a shortfall in your diet then try substituting with a multivitamin.
Stay Hydrated
Make sure that you are getting enough fluids throughout the day. Remember that coffee is a diuretic so avoid it if you suffer from dry eyes.
Get Enough Rest
The correct amount of quality sleep is very important when combating dry eyes. Not only does it allow the eyes a prolonged break from the air, it also helps to reduce stress that may be causing any hormonal imbalances.
