Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Since doctor has diagnosed dry eye you have to be treated for that. By going through your problem it appears you have blepharitis or bacterial cojuctivitis. Soyou have to use anti biotic eye drop like oflacin .3% 3times daily and apply neosporine ophthalmic ointmennt at bed time.
