Dryness is very common at your age, and yes, it can cause these symptoms.
If u are not satisfied with your doctors advice, then take a second opinion. You symptoms can be caused by many diseases of the eye like refractive errors and cataract for example. We cannot come to a conclusion without examining your eye first.
If u do have dryness, i would recommend OPTIVE eye drops to be used 6-8 times per day depending on the severity of the problem. U may need to use an additional ointment (LACRIGEL) before bedtime too.
Also, I have found that long term Omega 3 fatty acid supplementation has a very good effect on dryness. (Capsule OSMEGA 500).
