Itchy eyes can have various causes, just like most other symptoms. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose itchy eyes, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Dry Eye | 92% | Confirm |
Psoriasis | 19% | Unlikely |
Indoor Allergies | 1% | Ruled out |
Hay Fever | 1% | Ruled out |
Approximately how often do your eyes itch?
Possible responses:
→ Never / rarely / don't know→ A few times a month → A few times a week → At least once a day |
Dry eyes may become itchy, particularly later in the day.
Eye burning, itching & discharge are possible indicators of psoriasis.
