I have an electric fan blowing in my room at night, can the fan dry out my eyes. i also have a humidifier running at the same time which keeps the rooms humidity at 50%. or can my dry eyes come from a different reason?

POSSIBLY: Dry eyes can b e from various causes. I might start with an ophthalmologist. If your eyes are significantly dry, I might also see a rheumatologist to rule out Sjogren's syndrome, esp. if you have a dry mouth also.
