Strained eye muscles lead to dryness due to improper movement of eyeball or dryness causes strain in eye muscles? chicken or egg? also explain the difference in pain from eye muscle strain vs dryness?hard rubbing causes muscle strain or abrasion?

No such thing : True “dry eyes “ are (almost) not existent. Eye irritation is very common. “Eye strain” is a common term that medically doesn’t mean anything. You can try an OTC eye irrigating solution (Systane, etc, etc,) or a eye antihistamine. If this persists see your doctor
