Itching in the eyes can be a result of many causes. Like a reaction to dust or heat etc., it usually takes two to three days of time to subside completely. If you are using over the counter eye drops I suggest to visit the clinic for specific eye drops or a combination of eye drops depending upon the severity.
Next Steps
Visit the clinic for eye checkup.
