Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. The feeling of dryness of eyes can be because of dry eye.
This requires use of artificial tears eye drops.

The common causes for this condition are increased evaporation of tears which can be because of increased use of computer or viewing T.V., humid weather, increased use of air conditioner....
If any of the above mentioned predisposing factors are present you need to avoid them along with the use of artificial tears eye drops.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
