5 Most Common Causes of Itchy Eyes and Recommended Treatment

Eyestrain

Eyestrain, or astenophia, is usually caused by staring at a computer screen for an extended period of time, reading in a poorly lit area, wearing contact lenses for too long or driving for hours. Its most common symptoms include dry eyes, headache, sensitivity to light, double vision, itchiness, burning sensation.  In some cases, indoor heat or air conditioning can also cause fatigue, irritation and itchy eyes.

Treatment: The most effective remedy for tired eyes is rest. Try to take regular rest periods if you’re usually using the computer at work or at home. Also, make it a habit to blink more often to lubricate your eyes.  If you’re driving, just pull over to a safe parking spot and take a power nap.
