Scratched eyes

I had lasik surgery 2 years ago and my eyes bothered me when I slept. I felt tremendous pressure on the eye lids when I would wake up and had to open them slowly. If I opened too quickly I would feel like I scratched my eye and it would bother me all day. My doctor prescribed Restasis which helped but now I cannot use my com,puter because after an hour on it, my eyes will tear and every time I go back to the screen, they will tear within 5 minutes. I reduced the Restasis to one a day from twice. This did not help but i was fine sleeping. I stopped using the Restasis and after a week, I woke up with that scratched feeling again. What can I do to keep my eyes good at night?

You need to see an ophthalmologist to determine the problem.
