can stress be a factor in dry eye?

[yoganut]

I've noticed yesterday and today that my eyes (esp right) have been feeling gritty and irritated. Before that I thought I saw a slight improvement.
I'm feeling a little stressed today due to work and personal reasons, anyone hink they're could be a connection?

yes, I think there might be a reaction. Stress causes acids and that's bad for the eyes...
