I think I can't follow you. Why does a person create dry eye symptoms? If you mean what can cause dry eye symptoms, I can give you some answers. When we stare at computer screens or a book for a long time, we may feel dryness in our eyes because when pay too much attention to the contents, we will forget to blink our eyes as frequently as we used to do. But this doesn't mean we get dry eye symptoms. Dry eye symptoms can be more serious problems. Our eyes can't produce enough tears to lubricate our eyes or they will produce too much tears if there is something wrong with the glands of our eyes. We can apply some artificial tears to lubricate our eyes or drink plenty of water to help relieve the symptoms. As to the more severe conditions, the doctors may perform some surgeries on our eyes.
