Dry Eyes?

[Getripped12]

what hormones cause dry eyes. I am 28 years old. Used prohormones off and on and basically had this problem over a year. Just trying to see what hormones to check because i know there is something internal causing this to happen? I had high cortisol, high shbg, high e2. But maybe something else i didnt check or need to get checked that cause cause skin and eyes to dry out? I knwo its hormone related.

I don't believe this condition is related to your diet or aas use.
From what I have learned, you may be getting your eye lids too clean.
They get dried out and the eyes become irritated.

I take two showers a day and have this problem.

My Dr says to not wash this area with soap and water.
Place a very warm, clean wash rag over the closed eyes and let
this do the cleaning. It will also open up the tear ducts.

Find a natural tear product and put these drops in a few times a day.
Include some medium level (thicker) drops before bed time.

i think its hormonal. Just wish someone knew what hormones. I have heard hormones play a big part in dry eyes. Just dont know which ones.

Did you do a google search?

I found this:
CAUSES: Dry eyes are caused by one or more of the following: 1) physical stress ( for example, from computer work), 2) poor nutrition, 3) a hormone problem, 4) a neurological disorder or damage, 5) immune system malfunctions, 6) an allergic reaction, 7) a virus, and/or 8) the toxic effects of pollution.

And this...

Dry Eyes Caused by Hormone Problems
Genes May Cause Early Menopause and Dry Eyes
By Jeanie Lerche Davis
WebMD Health NewsFeb. 10, 2004 -- Women whose ovaries prematurely quit functioning may be at a greater risk for dry eyes, a new study shows.


Premature ovarian failure happens in 1% of women under age 40, writes researcher Janine A. Smith, MD, with the National Eye Institute.


While the disorder has various causes -- including chemotherapy, radiation therapy, an immune dysfunction, and heredity -- the results are the same, writes Smith.


Women get all the hormone-related changes that postmenopausal women get -- hot flashes, night sweats, fatigue, and mood swings, risk of heart disease, and osteoporosis.


They also have more serious dry eye problems than other women their age, writes Smith. However, researchers don't fully understand what hormones are involved in dry eye problems -- whether it's female sex hormones or one of the other hormones that were produced by the ovaries.


Various disorders of sex hormone deficiency have been associated with dry eyes.


Her study involved 65 women -- all under age 40 and all with ovarian failure -- who were tested for symptoms of dry eyes. Indeed, these women had worse dry eye symptoms than a comparison group of similar-aged women:


Women with premature ovarian failure more often reported general vision problems, eye pain, and difficulty driving.
Women with premature ovarian failure had more burning, stinging, and grittiness in their eyes.
The study group used more lubricating eye drops.


Researchers found more severe surface damage to the eye in these women, reports Smith. However, the women's tear ducts seemed to be working fine.


It likely is a hormonal problem -- one that involves estrogen, which stimulates the immune system, and androgen -- male sex hormones, which suppresses the immune system, including production of the tear film over the eye, she explains.


A common genetic factor could be responsible for both ovarian dysfunction and dry eyes, she says.

And you didn't think that was the answer? Or you just wanted another opinion?
Did you ask your GP or optomologist?
