rule out dry eyes and cataract

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query, it is difficult to comment without examination, I would have referred you to opthalmologist to check for cataract, if it is case it requires suggest. Other reason might be dry eye, in that case I would have treated you with artificial tear drops and observed.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
