I have reoccuring eye swelling directly after I eat lunch. This is not an everyday occurance but seems to be happening more often. When I get back from lunch my eyes dry out and swell. Places where this has occured: Pizza Hut, Panera Bread, Chinese Buffet, Hooters.
Do you have anything in your records that I could look up to see what is causing this? My only symptom is drying and swelling of the eyes. No pain anywhere else.

It could be that you're allergic to a food additive commonly found in fast food, such as aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, or others. If you have those ingredients in your home, try eating foods with them and see if eye swelling occurs.
