With sensitive, irritated eyes, you want to be gentle and avoid touching them as much as possible‚Äîwhich isn't easy when they're itchy or painful. Cold compresses are great for reducing swelling and sensitivity, and Clear Eyes eye drops for itchy eyes, dry eyes or sensitive eyes can help bring relief
