It seems like allergic conjunctivitis.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

It seems from the history that you are having itching and irritation of the eyes.
These symptoms indicate allergic condition of the eyes most probably allergic conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of anti allergic eye drops like olopatadine eye drops.
Washing the eyes with cold water and use of artificial eye drops provides symptomatic relief.
Along with medical treatment avoiding exposure to common allergens like dust, pollens... is necessary to prevent recurrences.

Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
