What Can Cause Dryness In Eyes,falling Of Eye Lashes And Low Vision?

I used to have Trachoma in VietNam, doctor gave me some medications back there. Now I'm in Toronto Canada, my eyes very dry and I use natural tears all the time. Eyelashes are falling easy.
My vision is low and I have to wear eyeglasses.
Just wonder if i get blind later in my ages. Now I'm 34. I got dianostic with Trachoma when I was 20.

Thanks
