HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Allergies would most commonly involve both eyes rather than just one but this can vary from one person to the next.\
Since it is itching, allergy is the most likely cause.

The use of an oral anti histamine would help as would the use of a topical allergy drop to the eye.

I hope this helps
