Itchy eyes

[fred.950]

Is anyone else suffering with itchy eyes at the moment? I’m guessing it’s hay fever related but I never normally suffer but they are so itchy and it’s affecting my vision!
Anyone found anything that helps? Optrex seems to make them worse

Suffered for years with itchy eyes. Try sunglasses which fit tight. Optrex with an eye bath is also good.

If open, go to your optician. You may have a dry eye problem which counter-intuitively can cause the eyes to itch and weep. A pharmacist recommended this when I had problems one year on holiday. https://www.boots.com/boots-hypromellose-eye-drops-10ml-10169330

Take a couple of used (but not well squeezed) tea bags and put them in the fridge for an hour or so. Place on closed eyes and leave for a bit.
While you are there, place a damp cold flannel over your mouth and nose and breath through your nose. I dont know why this helps the eyes, but it does.

I get this from work on a sweaty day and can end up looking like a myxy rabbit by 4pm with little blobs of yellow gloop from wiping the sweat out with a dirty hand. I'm bent over a fair bit and the sweat runs down from my cheeks, which are also probably dirty.

Best solution I'd found is Brolene drops (for the infection) asap and frequent application of Tesco Comfort Eye drops. Bathing them liberally with mildy warm salty water also helps first thing the next morning if the lids get stuck down over night.
