Suggest Treatment For Itchy Eyes

default
Posted on Mon, 21 Nov 2016
Question: Often the caruncle of both my eyes is itchy. I poke and rub numerous times in succession. It causes a cracking sound, and seems to relieve the itch. Then minutes later I start over again. What causes the itch ? Will the poking and rubbing cause harm to my eyes ? This has been happening for a few years.

Anti allergic drops like oloptidine .3% is a safe anti allergic drop.Along with that you should use lubricant eye drops like refresh tears or tears naturale,three or four times a day.This should give you a lot of relief.Thes drops should continue for a while.
