Hello, it is quite common to experience itchy eyes, and this may also be related to personal habits—for instance, some individuals frequently rub their eyes with their hands, and over time, this habit itself can contribute to eye itchiness. Treatment for itchy eyes should be symptom-directed: if the itchiness stems from inflammation, allergies, or other ophthalmic conditions, appropriate targeted therapy is required—including the use of suitable eye drops—rather than indiscriminate self-medication. Additionally, avoid rubbing your eyes during treatment, as this increases the risk of bacterial infection. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
