Causes of Dry Eye
Drugs that often cause dry eye include:

- allergy pills
- blood pressure medications
- medicated eye drops like glaucoma drops, Visine, Similasan or other drops with preservatives in them
Dr. Beeve can help you identify medicines that could be causing your symptoms.
Health conditions that can cause dry eye include:
- diabetes
- thyroid dysfunction
- rheumatoid arthritis

- previous eye surgery
Finally, any visually intensive task such as reading a book, staring at a computer or watching TV causes you to blink less often. Blinking less leads to eye strain and dry eyes
