As far as I am concerned, teething has little to do with eye irritation. The symptoms of teething includes irritability, mouth watering, and swollen gum. During teething process, a baby will become irritable due to the discomfort in his or her gums. He may try to distract himself by rubbing eyes or touching ears and gums.
