Frequent blinking may sometimes be a sign of Blepharospasm. Lubricating eye drops may not resolve this issue. Consult an Oculoplasty surgeon to see if you have this condition.

If Artificial tears eye drops are not working, you need something else. I would advise you to consult your doctor again or have an online consultation
