During this period, I’ve consistently experienced itchy eyes upon waking in the morning. Sometimes, I can’t resist rubbing my eyes with my hands, and the corners of my eyes remain slightly red. Could you please explain specifically what causes itchy eyes?

Hello, itchy eyes can result from various causes. The first common cause is the presence of a foreign body in the eye; once the foreign object is removed and adequate rest is taken, symptoms typically resolve spontaneously. However, persistent or severe ocular itching may indicate a more serious ophthalmic condition requiring prompt medical evaluation and treatment. If the itching is caused by a bacterial infection, immediate consultation at a hospital is essential for proper diagnosis and management. Topical antibacterial ointments may be prescribed to help alleviate symptoms. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
