What happened to the redness and swelling after rubbing the itchy eyes?

Itchy eyes, partial congestion in the white of the eye after vigorous rubbing, and possibly conjunctival edema, are due to allergic conjunctivitis, which is caused by allergies. This is a relatively normal phenomenon and does not bring too bad consequences. If the eye itch is caused by allergy, you need to use anti-allergy medication, such as Olopatadine or Flomilon drops, for local anti-allergy treatment. If the symptoms are heavy, cool compresses can be applied to relieve the symptoms. When the allergy is controlled, the itchy eyes and the symptoms of redness and edema will be reduced.
