Itchy Eyes?
Reader's Digest India
|July 2017
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.
