A member asked:
Can you get dry eye in only one eye? my right eye often feels scratchy but not my left.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It would depend on the cause of the dry eye. If it is a systemic problem then it would be unlikely that just on would have the problem. If it is a chemical, infection, or exposure than it would be more likely to happen.
