I dont have dry eyes . i have dystonia. i dont know why but i need to use artificial tear in a daily or dystonia gets worse.why is that?

Interesting: Dystonia in of itself does not cause dry eyes but dystonia can cause blepharospasm thinking outside of the box, and any medication you taker for the dystonia can have a side effect of dry eyes. I think a referral to an ophthalmologist is in order in addition to your family physician.
