Dry Eye Relief: What’s Causing Your Dry, Gritty Eyes (and the Simple Routine That Helps) | Dr. Carly Rose

Most dry eye treatment focuses on drops. This episode is about what drops don’t fix — and the daily habits that actually change things. In this episode of The Dr. Brighten Show, Dr. Jolene Brighten talks with Dr. Carly Rose (Dr. Rose) about what dry eye really is, why it keeps showing up, and what actually helps. Dry eye is often less about “not making tears” and more about the tear film not staying stable—especially when the oil layer isn’t doing its job. That’s why habits like lid hygiene, warm/hot compresses, and complete blinking can make such a difference over time.
