Could it be that you have discovered a new allergy/intolerance? I find that my allergy comes and goes, I never had them before being a diabetic, but all of a sudden my eyes started to go dry and started to get hay fever like symptoms. However this only happens in random places and mainly in the summer. Not worked it out yet .
