What is the cause of dry eyes?

Without a slit lamp examination of your eyes, it is nearly impossible to determine the source or your symptoms. Itching is not a typical symptom associated with dry eye syndrome READ MORE
Without a slit lamp examination of your eyes, it is nearly impossible to determine the source or your symptoms. Itching is not a typical symptom associated with dry eye syndrome and makes me consider other sources such as allergy. If you have not seen an ophthalmologist, I suggest you see one. If you have seen an ophthalmologist and are still not getting relief, I suggest you return for a follow-up evaluation or consider seeing a cornea and external disease specialist.

Yes. It is not uncommon to have combined cataracts. A common example would be an age related cataract such as nuclear sclerosis combined with a posterior sub-capsular cataract which can be age related, but is also more common in diabetics and with use of steroids. Surgical treatment when they become symptomatic is the same and highly successful.
