Dry, burning, itchy, or watery eyes are symptoms many people experience—but could there be more behind them than simply “dry eyes”?

In this episode, we take a closer look at the connection between Dry Eye Disease, Blepharitis, and Demodex, and why healthy eyelids and eyelashes play such an important role in maintaining a healthy ocular surface.

🎙️ Our guest, Robin Martini of Global Retina Institute, joins us to share valuable insights into the patient experience, common symptoms, eyelid health, and the importance of identifying the underlying causes of eye irritation.

We discuss:

🔹 What really causes dry eye
🔹 How blepharitis affects the eyes
🔹 What Demodex is and how it can affect the eyelids
🔹 The connection between eyelid health and the tear film
🔹 Available treatment and management options
🔹 When persistent symptoms should be evaluated by an eye-care professional

Whether you experience occasional eye irritation or struggle with chronic dry eye symptoms, this conversation offers an important reminder: not all dry eyes are the same, and understanding the underlying cause matters.
