Causes of dry eye syndrome before or after LASIK include:

  • Older age, particularly if you are female and have undergone menopause.

  • Allergy medications (antihistamines), certain blood pressure medications and anti-depressants that can decrease eye moisture.

  • Autoimmune diseases such as Sjogren's syndrome.

  • Unusually dry climates or environments, such as a room that is highly heated or air-conditioned.
