What Causes Dryness In The Eyes?

My wife is hypertensive and has been on medication for three years. She is 156 cms tall and weighs 76 Kgs. She is 53 yrs old. She is mother of two and has got her uterus and both ovaries removed when she was 34. She has recently been started Ferrous Ascorbate & Folic Acid tablets since two days.She is complaining of dry eyes. Is this symptom an effect of the Iron tablets?

Iron tablet will not result min dry eye. It is rather total hysterectomy , due to hormonal imbalance dry eye can occur er you have to use artificial tear drop like refresh eye tear drop.
