Hello
It seems from the history that you have undergone LASIK surgery following which you are having itching and irritation of eyes.
This is because of dryness of eyes and inflammation following surgery.
The treatment is by use of steroid eye drops and artificial tears.
The eye drops given by your doctor ocupol d and refresh tears are correct and they will help to decrease your problems.
Hence I advice you to continue treatment as advised by your doctor.
Thank you
