Itchy Eyes

Pregnancy changes your body in numerous ways, but it can also alter how many tears your eyes produce, leaving your eyes feeling dry and itchy.

You shouldn’t continue to itch your eyes as it can make them worse; instead, try holding a warm compress over your eyes or speak to your doctor about any itchy eye treatments that would be safe to use during pregnancy.

Itchy eyes are common and usually caused by an irritant, such as an allergy.

This will usually be in the form of pollen, dust or animal dander, and can cause redness and swelling in addition to itching.

You shouldn’t itch your eyes as it can make them worse; rather, you should find a suitable treatment option to relieve your symptoms.

Tilt your head back and position your finger below your lower-lid and gently pull down to form a pocket.

Look upwards and squeeze the bottle until the recommended drops are deposited into the pocket.

Then close your eyes, don’t blink, and keep them closed for a couple of minutes to allow the product to sink in.

Afterwards, dab around your eyes to remove any excess product.
