Brief Answer:
You can use lubricating eye drops

Detailed Answer:
hey thanks for the question . Dry and itchy eyes can result from a lot of things like computer use, allergy , thyroid disorders , arthritis etc. We have to find out the cause if the same . The treatment is usually in the form of lubricating eyedrops like carboxymethlycelullose, HPMC, polyethylene glycol depending upon the severity. For mild dry eyes CMC is usually enough. Hope my answer helped you . Regards
