Your symptoms sounds akin to an allergic conjunctivitis. This is usually aggravated by dust and pollution and waxes and wanes with the weather too. Treatment is symptomatic and therefore you get relief for sometime. You will require a long term course of drops. Consult your eye doctor for the same.
