Dry eye : permanent or temporary??

[eye_health]

Hi,

I was having tired eye (blur vision for 2 months) and it started to hurts when focus on monitor.
My doctor was giving me tobradex (10 days, 6 times each day). At this time she didnt know if it is tired, we suspected it was bcoz infection.
No progress, still hurts. So I continue using visine for tired and sensitive eyes, 6 days, 5 times each day, 2 drops each). Feel better only after use it, but still hurts. However the blur started to gone, though the pain still every time i try to focus.

No progress, then I use evercyl (topical antihistamin,3 days, 3 times each days, written there not for dry eye people).
Then i start to feel my eyes a bit hot.

No progress, then my doctor tried using blue/green liquid test, boorwater, and the last was schrimet test.
Based on schimer test, it was 2 mm for 5 min. SO she assume I  had dry eye (though i dont have aby symptom of dry eye).

But since then, i am having gritty eye. SO she gave me vidsic gel, after use 3 days (3 times each) my eyes felt very hot after wake up if i forget to use it beofre sleep.

My question are:
1. Which medicine causing my eyes dry??
2. If bcoz the medicine, is it permanent or only when i use that med??
3. if bocz tired eye, is the dry eye still persist though the eye not tired anymore??

Please help anyone,
thanks :)

thanks for your reply..

I think one of the causing is stress, it makes also your eye stress and dry.
Maybe plus dry weather...
Just for information for others...

None of the medications should cause dry eyes, it is probably an intrinsic problem in your eye.
