Eye feels dry and heavy

Question

Asked for Female, 20 Years

My eye has been feeling dry , like there's something on it. It feels heavy and so does underneath it. It started hurting about 9 hrs ago but feeling had been there for a week. My vision is not blurred when I use just that eye to look through my glasses as I'm very short sighted. About 3 weeks ago pilocarpine was used on that eye during a practical session in school
