Disease description:
My eyes have been extremely uncomfortable these past two days—especially after prolonged use of computers or smartphones. Lately, I’ve noticed that rubbing the corners of my eyes only makes the itching worse. Could you please advise on how to relieve itchy eyes?

Hello, when your eyes itch, you may rinse them with clean water—lukewarm tap water at home is suitable for this purpose and can help relieve itching caused by dry eyes. If rinsing provides little or no relief, you may consider using levofloxacin eye drops, erythromycin eye drops, or chloramphenicol eye drops. However, it is essential to first visit a hospital to identify the causative pathogen before initiating targeted antimicrobial therapy. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
