A member asked:

Helo dr. sudden itching and irritation started in my left eye from last night (20.5.14).. kindly advise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several options: Could be an allergic reaction in that eye; or an early infection that is likely viral; or an insect or spider bite; or a number of other things. It is most likely self limited at your age. If still there are 2-3 days ask your parents who their ophthalmologist is and get it dealt with.
