Waking at night due to eye rubbing

Hi, my 6 months old wakes himself up by rubbing mainly his right eye, but also both for 2 months now. Sometimes he wakes crying and irritated that he has to rub it. This is only during the night tho. He had antibiotic drops one time when he az 4 months old. Tho as I learned later, it was a stronger one, to be prescribed for 1yr+ children, our doctor messed it up.... but that was for his left eye. Also for some reason the right eye's pupil is slightly bigger but evens out in light. More info: we have unusually big amount of dust in the house, it's very warm due to the heating system and it's very dry the air (30% humidity) BUT for that we already tried eye drops against dry eyes and nothing changed, I discovered mold in our washing machine and since I'm battling it but it keeps coming back (nowhere else tho in the house), and we've been to 3 different children's eye specialists and diagnosed perfectly healthy eyes...... I'm clueless. Anyone any tips please what to try

Hey, it just stopped a month or two ago, I took him to like 4 specialists who all Said the same, he has perfect eyes and it's a habit. Seems like it really was but if I were you I'd get it checked out (here in my country it's for free, hope there too!) Good luck, it really can be a habit or from teething
