Yes, Hand reflexology can relieve dry eye symptoms. Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. In the United States alone, approximately 16 million adults have been diagnosed with dry eye disease, according to data from the National Eye Institute.

As we age, tear production decreases. Some medical conditions, such as Sjogren’s syndrome, allergic eye disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, scleroderma, thyroid disorders, or vitamin A, can cause tear production to dry up. Factors such as increasing screen time, environmental conditions, and aging populations contribute to the prevalence of dry eye syndrome.
