Menopause: Although menopause does not appear to cause dry eye, there is an interesting interaction between hormone replacement therapy and dry eye. Originally it was assumed that estrogen replacement would help dry eye symptoms, however research found this was not the case and estrogen with progestin (a synthetic hormone) actually makes dry eye worse.
