Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you may need artificial tear films for long term usage multiple times a day and night eye caps may be needed. if symptoms persist then lacrimal gland surgery for tube opening may be required. Avoid ceiling fan and too much screen exposure.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
