What Can Cause Dry Eyes Along With Puffiness And Burning Sensation?

I've been diagnosed with dry eyes (probably due to hormone replacement therapy), currently trying out drops. I also am on allergy medicine for unknown itching issues that result in welts. I'm going soon to see a plastic surgeon to get my dark-circled, baggy eyes (genetics) fixed. I get up in the morning and my eyes are puffy, burn, and sometimes itch. What am I missing?
