Itchy eyes can be initially treated at home by trying to wash the eye, taking moderate rest, applying over-the-counter eye drops and applying cold compresses with towels. You should seek medical attention if you feel something in your eye, if you have an eye infection, if you have a lot of discharge, if your vision starts to deteriorate, if you have significant eye pain, if your eyelids are swollen, and if the itch persists. Doctors will develop different treatment plans depending on the cause and type of itchy eyes, so it is impossible to say exactly which treatment is best.
Immune conjunctivitis is firstly treated by removing the allergen and health education, followed by medication. Infectious conjunctivitis is treated by targeting the cause, with topical medication being given as antibiotic drops or ointment for bacterial conjunctivitis, antiviral drops for viral conjunctivitis, and systemic medication if necessary.
