My eyes itch and are red and hurt a lot and sometimes they feel sticky.

Dear Mukesh Khatana ji,

Itchy, red, painful, and sticky eyes often point to an infection or allergy.

Let’s understand the possible causes and what you can do next.

Common Reasons for Eye Itching, Redness & Stickiness

• Allergic Conjunctivitis – Triggered by dust, pollen, or makeup

• Bacterial/Viral Infection – Can cause redness, pain, and sticky discharge

• Dry Eyes – Prolonged screen time may lead to irritation

• Eye Strain – Poor lighting or lack of sleep can worsen symptoms

Care Tips You Can Follow

• Avoid rubbing your eyes

• Rinse gently with clean, cold water
