Dry eye syndrome causes the eyes to feel irritated, scratchy, dry and uncomfortable. Your eyes may look red and even swollen and you may feel that there is something in them. Vision can be blurred but this will usually go away when you blink. Excessive tearing is another symptom. These tears are mainly water and do not contain any of the lubricating qualities that normal tears provide.
