Hello
It seems from the history that you are having constant itching of left eye.
This indicates allergic conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of anti allergic eye drops.
Along with medical treatment exposure to allergen if possible has to be done.
Washing the eyes with cold water and use of artificial tears provides symptomatic relief.

Thank you
