➡️5 Surprising Reasons Your Eyes Feel Dry 👁💧
That no one talks about — but you definitely should know.

1. You’re not blinking enough
When we’re staring at screens, we blink 2–3x less.
But blinking is what keeps your eyes hydrated and protected.

📱 → 💻 → 📱 = dry, tired, irritated eyes

2. Harsh makeup removal
Some cleansers or micellar waters mess with your tear film — especially if they get into the eye area.

Result? That dry, gritty, burning feeling.

3. Lash extensions or low-quality glue
Some adhesives can block the oil glands in your eyelids.
Less oil = faster tear evaporation = more dryness 👁‍🗨

4. Dry air from A/C or heaters
Whether you’re in the car, the office, or on a plane —
Dry air = dry eyes. Period.

🌬️ Climate control can seriously mess with your tear film.

5. Hormonal shifts & aging
After age 30–35, your tear glands may slow down.
Especially during hormonal changes — like pregnancy, perimenopause, or stress.

👁 If your eyes feel tired, red, or dry — this might be why.

If even one of these sounds familiar…
👀 It’s time to start taking care of your eyes.

👀Personalized care : Not Just Eye Drops, but Restoring Function

Many patients say: “Everything is fine.”
But under the microscope, I often find hidden inflammation or clogged glands.

85% have issues with meibomian glands, which produce the oily layer that prevents tear evaporation.
💻 Due to screen time, we blink 70% less, causing dryness, blockage, and even gland atrophy.

❌ Eye drops only mask symptoms – they don’t solve the root problem.

✔ My approach:
1. Microscopic exam + gland scan
2. Considering all factors (skin, sleep habits, blinking)
3. Personalized care: warm compresses, eyelid hygiene, procedures
💡 Goal: Restore function, not just relieve symptoms!

✅ Индивидуальный подход: не просто капли, а восстановление функций

Многие пациенты говорят: «У меня всё хорошо».
Но под микроскопом я часто нахожу скрытое воспаление или закупоренные железы.

85% имеют проблемы с мейбомиевыми железами, которые вырабатывают жировой слой, защищающий глаз от высыхания.
💻 Из-за экранов мы моргаем на 70% меньше, что приводит к сухости, закупорке и даже атрофии желез.
❌ Капли лишь маскируют симптомы, но не решают проблему.

✔ Мой подход:
1. Осмотр под микроскопом + фотоанализ желез
2. Учитываю все факторы (кожа, сон, привычки моргания
3. Персональный план: тёплые компрессы, гигиена век, процедуры
💡 Цель – восстановить работу желез, а не просто снять симптомы!

If your eyes often feel dry, irritated, or like there’s sand in them – or if they water for no reason – you might have dry eye syndrome. Artificial tears can help temporarily, but they won’t fix the problem. And if you’re using Visine or Clear Eyes – throw them away! They only make things worse by constricting blood vessels and drying out your eyes even more.

Dry eyes don’t just go away on their own. Over time, they can lead to chronic irritation, inflammation, and even vision problems. But the good news is there are real solutions! I personalize treatments to find what works for you, including FDA-approved Lumenis OptiLight, which not only treats dry eyes but also improves the skin around them – smoothing fine lines, reducing dark circles, and boosting collagen production.

Don’t wait until it gets worse – take care of your eyes now!
