Brief Answer:
It can be because of inflammation or allergy.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having redness and itching of the eyes following rhinoplasty surgery. This can be because of inflammation secondary to the surgery or because of allergy.

If I were to be your treating doctor I would like to rule out inflammation secondary to rhinoplasty surgery. If inflammation was found I would recommend to use anti-inflammatory drugs.
If inflammation is not present then I would recommend to use anti-allergic drugs.
Hence as of now you can use artificial tears eye drops for symptomatic relief and do consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
