Your eye doctor should be able to evaluate you for dry eyes. If you have dry eyes, there are treatments available to relieve your symptoms. You can also limit your screen time on computers, phones, tablets, etc. to reduce eye strain. You can also apply warm compresses to your eyes a couple of times a day and wash your eyes with warm water and a mild soap. Your doctor would have likely seen cancer
