Medication causes:
Dry eye can occur in climates with dry air, as well as
with the use of some drugs, including antihistamines, nasal
decongestants, tranquilizers, and anti-depressant drugs. People
with dry eye should let their health care providers know all the
medications they are taking, since some of them may intensify dry
eye symptoms. (Source: excerpt from Facts About the Cornea and Corneal Disease: NEI)
About medication causes:
Another misdiagnosis possibility is that a particular medication or
substance may be the real cause of the disease.
Certain medications, chemicals, toxins or substances
may possibly be underlying causes of Dry Eye.
Side effects of medications, or exposure
to toxins, chemicals, or other substances may cause a symptom or condition.
Hence, they become possible underlying causes of Dry Eye
but are often misdiagnosed or overlooked as a cause.
