  Yes, birth control pills can cause dry eyes. As we know that the eye depends on the flow of tears to provide constant moisture and lubrication to maintain vision and comfort. And when there is an imbalance in this tear system, a person may experience dry eyes. Also, there are many factors which can cause dry eyes, such as the natural aging process, especially menopause. And you should know that side effects of certain drugs such as birth control pills, can also lead to the dry eyes. So you should be careful about it. Of course, when you have some diseases which affect the ability to make tears, such as collagen vascular diseases, it will also be possible to have dry eyes. So for your situation, I think you should give up using birth control pills, or it will make your symptom worse.
