If your eyes burn, sting, feel dry, or get blurry after screen time, you're not alone—and this episode was made for you.

Dry eye disease is often driven by everyday habits we barely think about: long hours staring at screens, reduced blinking, and even common makeup choices. Many people don't realize what's happening until the symptoms become hard to ignore.

In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Pam Theriot, who brings clarity and calm to a topic that affects so many of us. 

This conversation is clear, empowering, and full of small, doable shifts that can make a real difference over time—without overhauling your life.

So grab your reading glasses, hit play, and come on in.
