😴 What if your dry eyes and poor sleep are connected?
Research is uncovering an interesting relationship between Dry Eye Disease and sleep.
People with dry eye are more likely to report poor sleep quality — and research also suggests that inadequate sleep may negatively affect the ocular surface.
This can create a frustrating cycle:
Dry, uncomfortable eyes → poor sleep → worsening dry eye → repeat. 🔄
Dry eye isn't always just about your eyes. Sleep, environment, medications, inflammation, and overall health can all be part of the bigger picture.
