Eye and eyelids irritation since 3 moths
I had lasik in 2016 december. I never faced dry eyes problem. I just visited an eye doctor for an opinion as I was having bit heavy eyelids while focusing for long time. He did some fluroscein test which irritated my eyes because of which I had to put his suggested moxigram dm. I left using it after 3 days and after that i again started feeling something in the eye. I put too many antibiotic+steriod eye drops which caused my eyelids to be itchy and burning. I am suffering since 3-4 months. I am even having too many headaches at the back of head. I currently have spherical right eye power of -0.5 and left eye cylindrical power of -0.75. my headaches are quite constant and usually one sided.sometimes at the back sometimes in the side or front. Is this eye power the reason of these headaches or dry eyes is the reason? I started wearing specs little bit but i fear now that even though I can see clearly i have to wear specs to avoid getting headaches.

There is no need to panic. Please use lubricant eye drops profusely. May be 6 to 8 times a day for a few weeks and then continue to lubricate your eyes. Dryness of eyes generally increases after the refractive procedures. We can review the situation after a couple or days.
