It is not caused by external harmful microorganism, such as bacteria, virus. One of the most common causes of dry eye syndrome is the aging process. It would make your eyes become itchy, burning, scratchy, redness. At the same time, wearing long-term contact lenses are another common complaint. If you are one contact lenses wearer, you have to avoid wear contact lenses before your dry eyes are released. They are not contagious but would make your dry eyes worse.
