Myth: You can't get dry eye as long as your eye produces enough tears.
Fact: Odd as it sounds, some patients develop dry eye because their tears evaporate very quickly rather than because they don't produce enough tears.
Fact: Computer screens, airplanes, and burns can make dry eye worse.
Fact: Dry may be alleviated by discontinuation of some medications, such as antihistamines or blood pressure medications. Before doing so, however, you should consult your physician.
