Itching in my eyes
Hiiii... I'm 38 years old...Please suggest some eye drops. I've been experiencing mild itching in my eyes for the past 2–3 months. Whenever it gets little more, I splash cold water on my eyes, and it provides relief. I spend a lot of time working on the computer, but my eyesight is perfectly fine.

Regarding your complaint, it is possible that you are experiencing allergic conjunctivitis. To address this, it is recommended to eliminate potential causative factors such as dust particles and avoid direct exposure to air conditioning. Additionally, lifestyle modifications are advised, including taking short breaks every 20 minutes from computer use and relaxing your accommodation by focusing on an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Hello mam, given your history it looks like you could be having eye allergy or dry eye due to excessive screen time. If the itching is mild and there are no other complaints like redness or foreign body sensation in the eye then it comes down to Digital Eye Strain/ Dry eye syndrome. You could start with lubricating eye drops, ( Flogel eye drop-1 drop 6 times a day)
Next Steps
If symptoms persist feel free to book an appointment with Us.
Health Tips
If possible try to reduce screen time.
If screen time is unavoidable, take break from screen for every 20 min. look 20ft away for 20sec.
Blink frequently

Cold compression with Ice will help
Also use lubricant eye drops like refresh tears 3-4 times a day.
Still no relief-eye drop olopatidine two times a day and eye drop loteprednol 2-3 times a day
Consult your ophthalmologist.
Do not continue eye drop lotepredenol for more than 2-3 weeks..it has side effects
