Since your eyes are itchy and red, you probably have eye infections of inflammation. The possible inflammations are Blepharitis, conjunctivitis, corneal ulcers (ulcers on the outer cover of the eyes) and uveitis. If you have Blepharitis, your eyelash will swell along the eyelid. Conjunctivitis is usually known as "pink eye" and it is an infection of the tissue connecting the eyelids and conjunctiva. Corneal ulcer is caused by bacterial or viral infection on the outer cover of the eye. Uveitis causes a swelling uvea due to autoimmune disorder, infection or toxins. When you have this uncomfortable feeling, you should consult a doctor as soon as possible to get timely treatment.
