can cold temperature cause itchy and watery eyes?

Not likely the cold temperature, more likely the dry air we encounter in the winter.  We don't tear as well and therefore our eyes get irritated more easily.

humidity is low in the winter time and the skin gets dry causing it to itch.

"red eye" can be \na)viral- which is self limiting often gone in 2 weeks \nb) bacterial - you will have alot of discharge and mucus, maybe painful\nc) environmental as the other person described \nd) allergy - you will feel a distinct itch \ne) dry eye - which can be associated with tearing and or burning\n\nusing artificial tears works well but you have to use them often, up to 4-5 X a day.  Systane (OTC at any drug store) only has to be use 2X or more per day for an appropriate dose.  \nnote: if you do have dry eye with a dry mouth as well as vaginal dryness then get checked for sjogrens syndrome.  dry eye can also be associated with arthritis and other auto immune diseases.\n\nlast things to consider if you do have dry eyes:\n- increase your omega 3 (ie fish oil, flax seed oil) to increase tear production\n-warm compresses and lid scrubs can allow the natural oils in your eyelids to coat your tears better\n-if all else fails there is Restasis which is a prescription drug.  it can take upto 6mo to take affect.\n\nof course consult your MD or optometrist for the appropriate course for you. \n\nhope this was helpful.

There are two basic reasons why eyes water.  Eyes can water if the tear ducts are blocked.  You can have surgery to solve this problem but sometimes the results are less than completely successful.  Tears are also a reaction to something irritating the surface of the eyes.  The irritation can be allergy, air pollution, infection, scratches on the surface of the eye, and even dry eye.

Your eyes are always kept moisturized and when you close your eyes are shut for a long period of time the moisture gets in that little pocket in between your eyes and your nose, then the dust in the air mixes and turns it into a type of "booger". But I have always known to call those "sleet"

When winter months set in, drier weather does also, causing your skin to become more dry and itchy. At my house, we use a humidifier to put moisture back into the house to counteract the drying air from heat.  Also try a body cream. Lotions are lighter but creams at night are heavier and lock in moisture better. \n\nIf this doesn't work, you could also try seeing your doctor. You may have a more serious condition such as exema.\n\nHope this helps!

Every year, as each winter season approaches us, it gets harder and harder for people to avoid getting a cold. It never fails, just as soon as the weather changes a little and starts to turn cold, people begin to sniffle, sneeze and cough and the symptoms of the common cold begin to come around once again. \n\n\nBut before you run out to the nearest store to buy a supply of tissues, cold medicine and soup, you need to understand exactly what you are up against. Your chances of being exposed to a cold germ will increase or decrease depending on the amount of contact you have with other people and how you take care of yourself. \n\n\n \nThe cold germ is spread from person to person when someone, who is infected, sneezes or coughs into the air or on you. The airborne germ then enters someone else’s body through an orifice, like your eyes, nose or mouth. You can also catch a cold by touching something that a person who has been infected has also touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. \n\n\nThere are many things that you can do to prevent yourself from getting a cold. \n\n\n1. You should wash your hands a lot. This frequent hand washing, especially when using any anti-bacterial soap, will help you to get rid of any potential germs that you might have come into contact with. \n\n\n\n2. You should carry and use anti-bacterial hand lotion several times throughout the day. Use it especially when you cannot get to a bathroom and you know you have touched something infected or have been near an infected person. \n\n\n\n3. You should also get plenty of sleep or rest. If you are tired and fatigued, your body’s resistance decreases and you will find that you are more susceptible to colds. \n\n\nThere are many ways that you can fight a cold once you have caught one. \n\n\n1. You should eat spicy foods. Spicy hot foods will cause your body to expel mucus. When you eat these types of foods, your nose will start to run and you will begin to cough up mucus. Spicy foods work just like a natural decongestant but without side effects. This advice is good for those people who cannot take over the counter medication. \n\n\n\n2. You should drink plenty of liquids. Liquids like soup, water, juice and flat ginger ale will keep your body hydrated. This is true especially if you have a fever. During a fever, your body loses a lot of fluids. You will need to replenish what you have lost. Therefore you need to drink often throughout your illness. You should also avoid drinking any dairy drinks because the dairy will cause mucus to form and coat your throat making it very difficult for you to swallow and cough. \n\n\n\n3. You should use a vaporizer. It will keep the air that you breathe moist. If you do not have a vaporizer handy, then just crack open the windows in your home. This is very important if you have an extremely warm and dry home. Cracking the windows will have the same effects that a vaporizer has.

If your eyes are watering a lot, you may have allergies.  While over-the-counter drops (like Clear Eyes and Visine) will work temporarily, they won't work forever.  You should see your eye doctor to make sure it really is allergies.  He/she can then recommend a treatment regimen that will reduce the watering.

I dont know. Go see your doctor. He will know what to do for ya.  Have any other symptoms like scratchy eyes and throat? It could  be some type of allergies, inside or outdoor.

I don't know.  Do your eyes hurt?  When you have a cold sometimes your entire head hurts.  Maybe allergies instead of cold.

It is probably hay fever. Get eye drops.  However, for quick relief, try putting and ice pack or cold pack on your eyes. It will relieve the discomfort a bit.

Try putting drops in your eyes like visine for allergies. It happens to me once in awhile and it's very irritating (no pun intended) but the visine helps. It could be caused from dust, something else in the air, I don't know for sure but again eye drops help.

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines your eyelid and part of your eyeball. The cause of pink eye is commonly a bacterial or viral infection, an allergic reaction or — in newborns — an incompletely opened tear duct.\n\nPink eye may make you feel as if you've got something in one or both of your eyes that you just can't remove. When you wake up in the morning, your eyes may seem to be pasted shut from the discharge coming from your eyes. The whites of your eyes may begin to have a pink discoloration, and you may not see as clearly as you did before.\n\nInflammation causes small blood vessels in the conjunctiva to become more prominent, resulting in a pink or red cast to the whites of your eyes. Pink eye and red eye are terms commonly used to refer to all types of conjunctivitis.\n\nThough the inflammation of pink eye makes it an irritating condition, it rarely affects your sight. If you suspect pink eye, you can take steps to ease your discomfort. But because pink eye can be contagious, it should be diagnosed and treated early. This is especially important for preschool-age children, who commonly develop both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis

I think Zoloft may cause dry eyes, but what bothers me more is the dry mouth.  Do you have that, too?  Your probably should double check with your doctor, though, in case there's some other reason.

you probably have "cold urticaria"...There is a drug out there to take and I will try to remember what it is...give me a second.  It is called cyproheptadine.  I used to have this also.  There are some types of winter hats (if your rash is on the side of your face) that can help called earflap hats.  If the rash is on the middle of your face you will have to just stay out of the cold.  The good news is that this may go away.  I had this for about 4 years and it went away slowly...I can now go out into the cold with no hive.  By the way, putting moisturizer on your face every day might not be good for it.  Ask your dermatologist for more detailed advice.

when they, do is maybe because they yawn and eyes get watery. When you feel  sleepy your eyes feel heavy and sometimes itch. Why not rub them?
