LadysMom, can you detect dry eye just by looking at the eyes? Going blind is really scary.............
No, the symptoms are just like conjunctivitis - eyes stuck shut with a thick, gunky yellow-green discharge.

They have to test for dry eye with a test strip to see if he is producing tears. It's called the Schirmer tear test.
