I got lasik too and got dry eyes ever since. Most eye drops started causing irritation cuz I was using them dozens of times a day. The preservative free ones were better. I use Biotrue Hydration Drops now and they are great.

Thankfully the dry eyes got a bit better after 2 or 3 years, and I only need the drops 2 or 3 times a day now, vs dozens per day in year 1.

FWIW it's a very common side effect of lasik, unfortunately. If it's really bad you might have to consider disability or at last workplace changes. I had to get a big monitor, turn up the font size, use dark mode, and lower the brightness (while maintain contrast) to be able to work again. And still need to take frequent eye breaks.
