Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, it can be due to dry eyes but autoimmune workup, especially with another set of symptoms, is a must. Detailed ENA profile alongside ANA, RA factor is a must.
Sjogren's syndrome or other autoimmune conditions like systemic vasculitis needs to be ruled out.
If normal skin patch tests or allergy Tests should also be done. Meanwhile using sunblocks on the skin, artificial tears for eyes can help.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
