I thought I was going crazy when my vision would just get where it was blurry to look down at a keyboard or in the car. I have my yearly checkups and they say my eyes are fine and I just want to laugh. But now I know it's because of this and I don't feel like I'm the only one who has blurry vision spontaneously.

That’s an awesome explanation as to what happened to my eyes. I couldn’t figure out if it was my hypo thyroid or post meno symptoms that made my eyes dry. I did try the eye drops daily for a few months to soothe them, but now l don’t have to use the drops at all, as the condition has somewhat all but gone away, which is fantastic!

I feel like I’m going blind. My eyes have floaters, little black moving specks and generally blurred vision. I went to optometrist and they said I have dry eye due to menopause. I have treated it with heat pads and drops, and they said it’s much better. Today though, it’s worse than ever, and in the past 3 months I have really noticed big changes and it’s very alarming. I really hope it’s just menopause 😢 maybe I have diabetes developing, I am overweight, on high blood pressure medication, and yes I spend a ridiculous amount of time in front of a screen and I smoke 🥴 I think I would rather lose a limb over my vision, cannot imagine how I would cope being completely blind.

That sounds really scary all right. You can try our very dry eye drops and see if they help but I would also recommend seeing a nutritionist or naturopath who can help you rebalance the basics of diet and lifestyle when it comes to your health. Often small changes like reducing processed foods and sugar and increasing whole foods can really help! I hope this helps! Sending you my best wishes!

Hi Paula Believe it or not, dry eyes can cause this. The eyes get so dry that they start to stream to protect them. You may find a Sea Buckthorn Oil capsule helpful here and if you are in the UK or Ireland you could use our Extra Dry Moisturising eye drops when needed. Best Wishes Eileen

It really depends on what's causing the eye issues as to whether it resolves afterwards. If it's hormonal it may do but if it's general ageing then it is unlikely to so do sorry. Best Wishes Eileen
