Understanding your concern. As per your query you have blurred vision and dry skin. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , diabetes, infection in ear , meniere's disease , medications side effects , allergic reaction and anxiety disorders . Other reasons can be low iron and sugar level in blood like in diabetic condition . I would suggest you to wash your eyes with cold water twice a day , wear glasses to protect them for dust and eat healthy diet . Do not stain your eyes too much and take ibuprofen for pain .I would suggest you to to go for your appointment to your doctor . Doctor may order CT scan , check for intraocular pressure , ophthalmoscopy , refraction and blood testing to determine if bacteria is in the blood and treat accordingly like prescribing antibiotics and anti inflammatory . Doctor may also refer you to ENT specialist for sinusitis like problem or cardiologist for stroke like condition .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
