The causes of irritated eyes can vary quite a bit. The most common are various types of allergies, infections, chronic dryness, mechanical irritation, air pollution, and spending too much time on a computer screen.
It is crucial to visit an ophthalmologist (an eye care professional) to prescribe the necessary treatment.
