So your this report shows mild dry eyes. If you have any kind of nutritional deficiency then it has to be corrected. And you have to try to reduce your screen time and avoid dust and direct air. Rest medicines need to be reviewed on consultation.
Next Steps
get your vitamin b12 and vit D levels corrected.
