Having itchy eyes? Well, it can be quite disturbing but it's rarely a worrying problem.

It probably is an allergy but you should see the doctor if it gets bad. Even so, you can try out some natural remedies before seeing the doctor.

Here are some of them:
1. Cold compress
This is one of the simplest ways to get instant relief for your itching eyes. Simply get a clean and soft piece of cloth, soak it in ice water and use it to rub on your eyes. The itchiness should go away immediately. Repeat this every day for better results.

2. Cucumber

Surprisingly, tea will also help you feel much better if you are having itchy eyes. And the best part of it is that you don't have to get a fresh bag. After making your tea, don't trash the tea bags. Instead, refrigerate them for around 30 minutes then place them on your closed eyelids. After around 15 minutes, you should be feeling better.

5. Water
If you can get rose water, it's better for treating itching eyes because it cools and soothes your eyes besides cleansing them. You can also use rose water as eye drops every time they itch for instant relief. But if you don't have rose water, you can as well use distilled water to cleanse the dirt in your eyes.
