Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, Propranalol causes dryness in the eyes.

Dryness in the eyes can cause burning sensation and irritation but does not cause sensitivity to light.

Use artificial tears (ocular lubricant) like REFRESH OPTIVE twice daily to alleviate dryness.

Wish you good health.
