      surprised you are getting no help from doctors. This sounds like the start of blepharitis and dry eye syndrome. For a start, try buying from the pharmacy some Hypromellose drops. They are also called artificial tears. Use them several times a day and a good dose just before you close your eyes at night. Constant use of a computer or screen work can cause this so if you think this could apply to you,try to cut down a bit.   There's lots of advice on the internet about this condition,which seems to be getting more common.
