Hello,
I always try to stay away from what irritates my eyes - sometimes I can, sometimes not. Also when I have alot of problems I carry a bottle of visine around with me. I have not tried any home remedies.

Often just flushing the eyes with cool water will do the trick. Lots of the commercial remedies don't work or add to the problem.
Really flush them, don't just dribble water into them. Turn your head to the side and slowly let a cupful of water run over the eye surface. Turn and repeat for the other eye. Pat dry.
Water should be cool not cold. Check under the lids and corners for debris that could be causing the irritation.
If the problem is allergy related you should try diphenhydramine also know as Benedryl.
