Hi,Ramesh (not Dr Ramesh !)
Thanks for query,
It seems that you might have blockage of lacrimal ducts causing dry eyes.
put Sulphacetamide 20 % eye drops (if you are not sensitive to sulpha drugs) in your eyes three times a day for few days.
If there is no improvement then consult eye surgeon for the cause and treatment.
ok and bye.

Hi Ramesh ji
Technically this condition is called xerophthalmia where in tear glands produce very less tear. This can also be due to some blockade or other reasons. Amongst ayurveda there is a procedure called netra tarpan that can be availed of at expert hands or you can use pure rose water[ ark gulab] as eye drops.
