In today’s episode of Over 50 & Flourishing, I’m joined by Dr. Pam Theriot, an optometrist, author, and dry eye specialist with more than 20 years of experience in eye care. Dr. Pam leads the Dry Eye Relief Center at Lusk Eye Specialists in Louisiana and, after experiencing her own struggles with dry eye early in her career, made it her mission to help others find lasting relief and restore comfort, confidence, and clarity.
Together, we explore why dry eye has become increasingly common and how menopause, hormone replacement therapy, inflammation, and screen time may all be contributing factors.
We also dive into the beauty habits that may be harming our eyes, and the daily habits that can help protect our vision and support healthy aging for years to come.
