I have had dry eyes for years, so I don't think it is totally related to the medicines I took. A nurse told me eyes can become drier and more sensitive to light during cancer treatment.
I think many factors can contribute to dry eyes. I see the eye doctor yearly and he has been prescribing drops for a long time. He told me many women get dry eyes during middle age.
I suspect allergies are part of my problem too. I am currently using Soothe XP, which can be purchased over the counter. I also use Similasan Dry Eye Relief.
