Totally different: Dry eyes means a lack of quantity or quality of tears at make the eyes feel dry, gritty and scratchy. Eye fatigue refers to achiiness and headaches around the eyes while failing eyesight means the visual acuity is declining and it is becoming harder to see.

Dry eye: Dry eye causes the eye to feel tired (eye fatigue) and as the dry eye worsens it can cause blurred vision (failing eyesight). With treatment, these issues can be avoided.
