  • Can Dry Eye be caused by antibiotics?

    A question I have been asking myself for a long time is whether antibiotics can be the cause of the dry eye (I mean dry eye not related to autoimmune diseases, accutane or lasik).
    For those who have dry eyes of this type, do you think there could be a link with the use of antibiotics in your past?
    Have you ever taken antibiotics for a prolonged period to treat infections not related to dry eye?

    I have not heard of any incident or research papers showing that antibiotics can cause dry eyes. Some antibiotics (Doxy/Azithromycin) are used to treat dry eyes.
