Hosts Emma Sullivan and David Park break down why dry eyes become more common after 50, exploring the often-overlooked role of meibomian glands and the oil layer of your tears—which accounts for roughly 86% of dry eye cases. You'll learn the specific mechanisms behind age-related gland dysfunction, why screen time makes it worse, and a practical stepped-care approach starting with warm compresses and intentional blinking that has research backing it. This episode cuts through the oversimplified "drink more water" advice to give you actionable strategies you can start tonight, along with what signs suggest you need professional evaluation.
