If your eyes are itchy, the first thing you should do is to have a rest by shortening the time of activities that cause eyestrain, for eyestrain is the main cause of eye itchiness. If you have the habit of rubbing your eyes, just quit it. Cold compresses can be applied to relieve the irritation, redness and swelling. Cold cucumber slices, chamomile tea bags, cotton balls soaked in cold water or a piece of wet cloth wrapped around a ice bag can be used as cold compresses. You can put the compresses over your eyes for at least 15 minutes while you are lying down for a rest. Washing eyes with wash solution is also helpful. You can make the solution by boiling a cup of distilled water with a teaspoon of salt and then put it in the refrigerator to cool it down. The wash solution should be thrown after two days of use. Besides, you should keep your all articles of everyday use clean.
