Dry eye can be caused by a number of factors. Dry eyes can result from decreased tear production or an unstable tear film.

Causes of Dry Eye:

• Contact lenses
• Age: As we age, glands in the eyelids produce less oil. Decreased oil production makes tears to evaporate quickly, leaving the eye dry.
• Diseases including Diabetes, Arthritis and Collagen Vascular Diseases, and Blepharitis
• Hormonal changes, especially after menopause
• Prescription medications as well as over the counter medications: these include few high blood pressure medications, diuretics, antihistamines, anti-anxiety medications, sedatives and pain medications.
