Itchy eyes can be caused by several factors. The following are some common causes:

2. Dry eye syndrome: When the eyes do not produce enough tears or the quality of tears is reduced, the eye surface can become dry, leading to a sensation of itchiness.
3. Eye fatigue: Prolonged focus on computer or smartphone screens can cause this.
4. Bacterial or viral infections: Such as conjunctivitis (commonly known as "pink eye"), which can also cause itchy eyes.
