Hello,
* Most common cause is adenovirus infection affecting eyes and giving rise to acute conjunctivitis.
* Following are best recommendations
- thorough splashing with cold water for 5 minutes each every 4 hourly
- drink more liquids
- wear protective eyeglasses to avoid exposure to pollen or dust
- prescription of antibiotic drops as moxifloxacin or else from your doc
- over the counter medicine cetrizine or diphenhydramine for itching control.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
