Dry eyes, red eyes
I am suffering from dry eyes. I couldn't read a book more than 15 minutes due to this. Eyes are becoming red. After 15 minutes, my eyes are closing and inducing sleep. I believe dry eyes is behind that. I tried eye drops, but their effect is only for 15 to 20 minutes.
Could you please suggest any remeady for this?
Note: pollution is not a cause, since I spend very little time outdoor. My commute is only for 5 minutes. Summer heat is also ruled out, as I stay in air conditioned room.
