Allergies or blepharitis: Allergies cause itching & tearing. Over-the-counter allergy medicine & eyedrops help relieve it. Zaditor (ketotifen) is a good eyedrop. Blepharitis also causes itching & this can occur with allergies. It's a minor infection of the eyelids. Crusting & tearing is common. Warm compress with daily baby shampoo washing of the eyelids helps relieve this. Severe cases are placed on antibiotics by your doctor.

Allergy: Avoid exposure to chemicals in air pollutants, bad air etc. Try washing your eyes with cold water & cold compresses. Buy visine a or alaway eye drops which work great. If symptoms persist, see your doctor to get prescription allergy eye drops.
