eyes

Does anybody know of a good home remedy for itchy eyes in the morning. It is more itchy round the eyes .

When I buy eye creams everyone of them just irritates them even more. Thanks for any replies.

Hi homer - Try 1 part vinegar to two parts water. I use this in the summer time for hay fever. Wipe over closed eyes with a couple of cotton wool balls. Let me know if it helped xxx

Ooh that's something I didn'nt think of funnygirl. If your eyes are itching and weeping homer, see your doctor in case it's conjunctivitis! xxx

Itchyness is more a sign of allergy than anything else. Any change of pillows/sheets etc recently? .If not then why not try some systemic meds such as piriton on you may be able to get some drops (for allergies such as hayfever) over the counter from the pharmacy.

If they are gritty rather than itchy then this may indicate more of a dry eye situation which tends to be exaggerated after sleeping. You could then try some artificial lubricant before sleeping. Make sure its a greasy one so it lasts through the night.
