Hello
It seems from the history that you are having eye problems in the form of irritation on exposure to dust, smoke....
This indicates dry eyes or allergy. The treatment for dry eyes is by use of artificial tears and anti allergic drugs are indicated for treatment of allergy.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly depending on the underlying cause.
Thank you
