Besides eyedrops, what are the best ways to relieve itchy eyes?

Remove the cause: Itchy eyes are often caused by pollens or ragweeds--can be miserable for some. The best treatment is avoidance, but that is not practical for most of us. So next best thing--flush your eyes out couple of times a day, especially after being outdoors. This remove some to most of the allergens. Nasal steroid such as Veramyst helps both nasal and occular allergies. Consult doc. Good luck.
