Asked for male, 34 years old from Varanasi

I am 30 years old. With the onset of every winter (last 3), my eye starts watering and itching. A thread like a membrane also comes out after rubbing my eye. I consulted ophthalmologist also, but the problem remained the same. Currently, I am using moxifloxacin eye drop, but not getting relief. My eye remains good during summer days. My eye waters so heavily that I cannot drive a bike for 1 km distance. I have to continuously wipe out the tears.
