hi
It seems that u have allergy in your eyes. The feeling of sand inside the eyes associated with redness and itching gives a typical picture of allergic manifestation in your eyes. You should start with the following:
1> Lotepred Eye Drop ( one drop thrice daily on both the eyes for 10 Days ).
2> Pataday Eye Drop ( one drop once daily for three weeks ).
3> Lubricating Eye drop like "genteal" one drop thrice daily for 1 Month.
If you wear contact lenses stop using the same immediately until recovered with the above.
Thanks.

Dear friend,
Your Description suggests that your eye has allergic conjunctivitis. You require to use anti-allergic eye drops. If you are a regular computer user your problem can be due to Computer vision syndrome. In that case you are required to blink a lot while work, take rest while work by closing eyes for a few second, use artificial tears and take diets rich in omega 3 fatty acids. Take care
