    As a matter of fact, it's quite normal for people to get itchy eyes after using anesthesia. It is known of us that anesthesia is used in surgery to minimize pain, discomfort, and shock for surgical patients. When anesthesia works as expected, the patient feels no pain during a procedure, and often does not remember the proceedings either. It increases patient comfort, which can in turn reduce recovery times. It is believed that the anesthetics act on the brain to produce unconsciousness, and on the nerves and spinal cord to promote immobility and reduce pain. However, while it seems to be helpful, it still have some side effects at the same time. The chemical substances remains our body will influence the function of our body, even lead to itchy eyes. In this condition, you should not rub your eyes and go to see a doctor as soon as possible.

    It is normal for you to get itchy eyes after using the anesthesia because of the stimulation of the eye nerves and eyes pressure. You could just let the eyes get recovery by themselves. Then you could use the eye drops to release the symptom. You could also do the warm compress to make the eyes feel comfortable.
