itching is an unpleasant sensation that creates the urge to rub or scratch. In eye care, itching most often refers to irritation of the eyelids, conjunctiva (the clear tissue over the white of the eye), or the ocular surface. It is commonly discussed in the context of allergies, dry eye, eyelid inflammation, and contact lens discomfort. Clinicians use itching as a symptom that helps describe what the eye feels like and what conditions may be contributing.
