Is there a good way to relieve itchy eyes when eye drops are not available?

Cool compresses: Occasionally, a cool wet washcloth over the eyes can temporarily relieve the symptoms. Heat can actually make the eyes more itchy. The best option, however, is an eye examination to determine the cause and provide a directed treatment.
