eyes vision

Dry, gritty eyes and vision that seems to blur by the evening are common now. Estrogen affects the oil glands in your eyelids, so tears evaporate too fast and screens make it worse. Your prescription can genuinely shift too.

What helps: lubricating drops (preservative-free if you use them more than four times a day), the 20-20 rule at a screen, and an eye test if your glasses feel wrong. Sudden floaters, flashes of light, or a curtain across your vision is an emergency: get seen the same day.
