Just listing "dry eye" as a side effect, isn't really enough information, especially when we already know ever other medication can cause dry eye. If medications listed percentages of people affected, with some kind of measurements (eg, an average decreased tear break up time of 5 seconds), then that would be a lot more meaningful. I also think a lot of drugs known to cause dry eye don't specifically list it. I think we know that anything with dry mouth as a side effect can also create dry eye but this isn't always specified.
The problem, I suppose, comes down to the fact that dry eye is considered an insignificant problem and therefore is never studied in any detail.
