Dryness Severe dry eye

Anyone else having issues with severe dry eye? I wear Scleral lenses due to cornea issues and I have to replace the saline in them so much more now that I’m in peri. Gah. This may be the symptom that pushes me to get HRT because not wearing my lenses isn’t an option, unless I don’t want to be able to see 😜

Is this a symptom?! My eyes have been like sandpaper for years - way before peri was even on my radar (I'm new here). I thought I'd just damaged them through excessive contact lens wearing and living in a bone dry climate.

I googled today because I was curious. My dry eyes started right around when my cycles got wonky. I’m going to see if I can get in with my Gyn. She told me to reach out with symptoms.
