Dry Eyes: Dry eyes, caused by inadequate tear production, has many potential causes, including the ageing process, side effects of certain drugs such a antihistamines, certain diseases that affect tear production, and structural abnormalities of the eyelids. If your eyes only dry out when sleeping, you may have a condition whereby your lids do not stay closed while asleep.
