Itching in the eyes is often caused by allergies, dryness, or irritation. You can try over-the-counter lubricating (artificial tear) eye drops to soothe the irritation, and avoid rubbing your eyes. If the itching is due to allergies, antihistamine or allergy eye drops can help. If the problem persists, it is best to see an eye doctor for the right medicine.

Your symptoms of eye irritation, watering, redness, painful eyelids, and discomfort with heat may be due to eye allergy, dry eyes, or mild conjunctivitis. Heat, smoke, and cooking fumes can further irritate sensitive eyes. Try using lubricating (artificial tear) eye drops, avoid rubbing your eyes, and protect them from smoke and strong heat. You can also apply a cold compress for relief. If symptoms do not improve in a few days, consult an eye doctor for proper examination and treatment.

Tears come from your eyes when you cry because the tear glands produce extra tears in response to strong emotions. This is a natural and healthy process. If you have a small, painful swelling or pimple on your eyelid, it is likely a stye, which happens due to a blocked or infected oil gland. Avoid squeezing or rubbing it. Consult a doctor for proper treatment.
