Brief Answer:
Ocular surface disease.

Detailed Answer:
My dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.
The answer to your question is both yes and no.Yes, because infections in the eye can remain in the eye lid like moebominitis or in simple terms style or lid margin bacterial infections can remain on the lid margin and not involve rest of the eye.
No, because this is not what is happening in your case.The grittiness which you feel is not bacterial and is not related to fly in your eye as you mentioned in your medical history.
This gittiness is due to dryness of eyes and you need to have ocular lubricant drops 3-4 times a day and you will be fine.
I hope I have answered your query fully.Do get back to me in case of any further query in this regard.
