WHY DO MY EYES ITCH?

Share Your Story

Allergie

– most obvious answer, but not necessarily most common

– signs: swollen/puffy eyelids, watery eyes, bumps under eyelids (seen by your doctor), diffuse and more intense itch

Blepharitis (blepharo- = eyelids, -itis= inflammation)

– so, inflammation/irritation of eyelids, very common

– could be due to mild bacterial infection or blockage of glands at the base of eyelashes

– signs: redness along eyelid margin, itchiness usually concentrated at eyelid margin or at the corners of your eyes but not as intense as with allergies, also watery eyes
