Why Do My Eyes Itch?

Allergies

- 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

As always, your questions are welcomed and encouraged.
