Possible Causes of Itchy Eyes:

Hay-fever: Pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds can trigger allergic reactions that result in itchy and watery eyes.

Blepharitis: This condition is caused by inflammation of the eyelids, which can lead to dry, itchy, and red eyes.

Other Allergies: Dust, pet dander, and other allergens can also cause itchy eyes.

Eye Rubbing: While it may provide temporary relief, rubbing your eyes can actually make them itchier and lead to more serious conditions such as keratoconus, a cone-shaped bulge in the cornea that can affect vision.
