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:

• 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.
