Dry eye ? the unknown menopausal symptom
Few menopausal women realise that dry eye is a symptom of menopause, a new survey shows.
The survey, sponsored by the Society for Women's Health Research in the US, polled 304 menopausal and peri-menopausal women between the ages of 45 and 57 to establish the level of awareness about the condition. Of the survey respondents, 62% had experienced dry eye symptoms, however, only 16 percent of these woman knew that the condition was linked to menopause.

Evaluation of the cause of the disease can significantly affect treatment options which currently include artificial tears, surgery and prescriptive therapies.
