Is it common for eyes to get more irritated and dry during the summer?

Summer eye irritants: It is probably more common to have these symptoms in the winter when the air is drier. However, dry and dusty climates can certainly cause eye irritation, and air conditioning and fans blowing during the summer can worsen dry eye. Ocular allergies may be common as well. Increased outdoor activities during the summer can lead to more exposure to airborne irritants and allergens.

Possibly: If you live in a warm, dry climate and spend more time outdoors in the summer, then your eyes may become significantly more dry during this time of year.
