  Well, yes, it is possible to have dry eyes if you have got eczema. According to some researches, when you suffer eczema around your eyes, your eyes will be red, itchy and inflamed.

  It's possible to cause dry eyes because of eczema. I see that eczema is an inflammation of eyelids or skin around eyes. Eye eczema can causes red eyes, dry eye and eye pain indeed. What's worse, serious eczema may lead to pink eye because of infection. But why does the individual feel eye dry after getting eye eczema? That's because glands around eyes cannot produce enough tears or quality tears. So eye dry may follow you if you get eye eczema. By the way, eye eczema is horrible because of its places. Let us think that every day you get outside with big, red and numerous eczema in eyelids, don't you still consider you are beautiful? Well, at least, I won't. By the way, avoiding roll or scratching your injured places and drop some basic drops under the doctor's instruction. Don't use any facial cream or eye cream until you're fine, or further infection may occur.
