What Causes Itchiness And Irritation In The Eye?

Hello. One of my eyes is irritated and itchy. I just put some drops in and checked to see if I had something in my eye. There isn t anything that I can see, but the membrane in the corner of my eye is noticeably swollen. I wanted to see if there is any home treatment I should be doing before I can get to the eye doctor in the morning.
