  Yes, it is possible. When eyes are dry, we are tending to rub our eyes, not only because eyes are itching but also rubbing can help tear production and lubricate eyes. Moisturizing eye drops can help relieve the dryness and itching. But I think some home remedies are better than medication. You can apply warm compress on eyes, a few times per day to help tear production. If the air is dry, you should use a humidifier to add moist into air, which can make you feel better. Have a light diet rich in vitamins and lutei, like fresh vegetables and fruits.
