Itching suggests some kind of allergic reaction, but it would be more likely to be both eyes together or neither, rather than one after the other. If there is any watery or sticky discharge it's probably a mild viral or bacterial infection, both of which usually clear up on their own within a week or so.
If you are a contact lens wearer, remove your lenses until you eyes are white and the itching has stopped.
As long as you're not in any pain, I wouldn't worry too much, I expect it will clear up on its own. You can use some lubricating eye drops like systane or hypromellose to make your eyes feel more comfortable. If it seems to be getting worse, starts to hurt, or doesn't clear up in a few days, go and see an optometrist (optician).

Ya all the time.
It can be due to allegens or dust.
Or maybe tiredness.
Get a good nights sleep.
I was told by my optition that when I get up in the morning to soak cotton wool in really hot water. Close eyes and press cotton wool over eyelids. Keep there for a minute or too.
Then press your bottom eye lid against you eye.
This is because the tear drop pores can get clogged and doing this clears them.
Then go to the chemist and ask for eyedrops.

It could be that something irritated your eyes like a chemical, make-up, or an allergen. If that's the case, the redness and itching should resolve itself quickly (a couple of days at the most). If the redness and itching persist, you should be seen at your local emergency department. You could have conjunctivitis and need drops of ointment to cure it.

it could be just dry eye, you could get vysene to fix it, or just let it go away, dont scratch it or rub it or it will just itch for longer. It shoudl go away within a few days, although it may come back for a little while a little later on.

Conjuctival hemorrhages are common and not serious. Having one after the other is unusual.
