What Causes Itching And Irritation In The Corner Of The Eye?

Hi,
The past couple of days i have felt as though there is something in my right eye. It is very irritated and feels scratchy in the left hand corner. There is also a slight red dot in this place, which i have had in the past as well. I have tried washing it out and eye drops but it still feels scratchy

Hi.... from what you expressed in your post it seems like you might have either dry eyes or have allergic conjunctivitis which can be distinguished on examination in detail. I suggest you use artificial tears for symptomatic relief till you get your eye examined in detail.
