Understanding Itchy Eyes: Common Causes and Treatment

Itchy eyes:

Itching of the eye is triggered by exposure to allergens which can be pollen, smoke from cigarettes, eye makeup, or dust. Where the body reacts to such allergens causing excessive histamine release that result in vasodilation (dilation of eye blood vessels) and irritation of the nerve endings which results in itching and watering of the eyes.

Common causes of Itchy Eyes:

• Meibomian gland dysfunction: dysfunction in glands producing lipid layer of the tear film, resulting in rapid evaporation of tears and non-proper lubrication of eye surface.
• Dry eyes: it is when the eyes do not produce enough tears to keep your eye surface moist and healthy 
• Allergic conjunctivitis: due to eye exposure to allergens such as dust.
• Contact lens-induced conjunctivitis: which results from either an allergic reaction to contact lenses or infection induced by contact lenses 
• Keratoconjunctivitis: can be either atopic caused by allergy to specific substance or vernal caused by surface inflammation.
• Blepharitis: inflammation of eyelids results from infection
