What Causes Itching In Eye?

Hi, I hope I'm not bothering or anything - but recently, my left eye has been really itchy, particularly the caruncle. Most of the itching happens in the evening, if that makes sense, but I'm not too sure whether it's on purpose or just like that. Is it a pink eye? If yes, what should I do?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having itching in left eye. This is usually because of allergic conjunctivitis.
The treatment is by use of anti allergic drugs like olopatidine and in severe cases steroid eye drops may be required.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
