Why they happen and how to treat them.
AN ITCH THAT’S difficult to scratch quickly escalates from a mild distraction to a major vexation, so it’s little wonder that itchy eyes are a frequent complaint at ophthalmologists’ offices. One likely cause: an allergic reaction.
If your peepers are bothering you, consider whether you’ve recently used any new products (creams, make-up, soap) that could have irritated them. Eyes also commonly react to pollen, dust mites and pet dander. Avoid suspected triggers, if possible.
“Your doctor may prescribe anti-allergy eye drops, lubricants and preventive medicines; and recommend a cold compress to relax your eyes,” says Delhi-based ophthalmologist, Dr Navin Sakhuja. Another cause of the pesky itch could be eyelid inflammation.
If your eyes feel dry and irritated,it’s best to not wear contact lenses until the warning signs go away.
