What causes dry eyes?
The main ingredients above give moisture to our eyes - protein, water and oils. Dry eyes typically result if any of these are out of balance. Lots of things change this moisture balance like aging, computer use, drugs, thyroid issues and menopause.
Auto-immune problems, like Sjogren's, especially affect the eyes.
