What Your Eye Symptoms May Mean




 
 

3.Dry or Itchy
Irritated eyes are often caused by allergies, medications, wearing contact lenses, aging, diseases like arthritis, and eyestrain from computer use. Eye drops may help. Look for ones that moisturize. Don’t use drops for redness. Another way to get relief is to put a cold compress on your eyes. You should never rub an itchy eye. If it won’t go away, see a doctor who can help you treat the cause, not just the symptom.

 

4.Puffy Eyes
It’s often easy to figure out what’s causing this — from allergies, pinkeye, or another infection or inflammation to bumps on your eyelids, sores on your cornea, or a black eye. In rare cases, it may be thyroid problems. Often the swelling goes away on its own. If it lasts longer than 24 hours or if you have trouble with your vision, call your doctor right away.
