Diseases (diabetes, thyroid disease, rheumatism, inflammatory joint disease, psoriasis, hay fever and more.)
Environmental factors (rapid evaporation of the tear fluid due to heating, air conditioning, exhaust fumes)
Computer work (staring at the screen - less blinking, no renewal of tear fluid)
Contact lenses
Laser surgery
Vitamin A deficiency (liver / intestinal diseases)
