Whenever i used to cry my eyelids would swell up like balloons, now for the past 2 weeks I'v been waking up looking like i was punched in both eyes! It doesn't hurt but they're so swollen everyone notices and askes what's wrong. I'm not allergic to anything and haven't changed any products I'm using. What's the deal, anyone?

My son has the same problem and we are now in Choc Children's Hospital and we have been here for five days now. I would do to the doctors so they can do a CT scan of your eye and give you medicine for your eye.

Shred a potato and use the shreds as a compress on the eye. No need to heat it up. Lay down and let the shredded potato sit on the eyelid for a few minutes. You may need to do this more than once, but if it is an infection, or sty, etc. the potato will draw out the infection and puss, reducing the swelling.

I have had this problem two seperate times, and i am actually writing here because i am a victim of swollen eyelids right now. its quite bothersome. I am suspicious that my eye makeup may have been the catalyst. I was so tired last night that i forgot to completely remove my makeup, and i woke up today with swollen eyelids. then again, when i had them before, i had properly removed my makeup. I just think maybe my eyeliner contributed to it. any thoughts on this? does anyone know a specific ingredient in certain makeup brands that could be harmful?

I think you have a stye, a stye is a little white dot on the inside of your eyelid, I had that last month and went to see specialist, he prescribe me an ointment called "TrobraDex", this product is not over the counter so you'll need prescription, but before you apply the ointment you can always try warm compressed and that should decrease the swollen a bit.

I had a painfull puffy/swollen eyelid for the past few days, the best cure for a swollen eyelid is to squeze out some tea from a hot teabag on to the whole eye and place the teabag on the eye remove it when it cooled off, repeat few times a day you will be surprized how fast it will disapear. IT REALY WORKS!

i have really bad allergies and i recently realized that old stuff like expired dates on foods at the grocery store and at home make my eyes swollen so i threw out everything and i mean everything that (went into my mouth) whatever i ate that did not have an expiration date or date was expired on foods,medicines, teas, condiments, seasoning, even rubbing alcohol and vitamins i threw it in the garbage. after i did this and watched what i put in my mouth and what i bought at the stores . my eyes quit swelling up. it was a break through and a big relief

seemingly swollen eyes are worse after we go to sleep straight after crying, the sodium (salt) in our tears do not get a chance to flush out.. It takes ages for me to look normal again 24-48 hour and yes it is so embarrassing that we cant have a little cry without the world having to know our business....drinks lots of water and cold tea bags will help the swelling

I have been suffering for a very long time with swelling of the upper eyelids. Mostly the right one. I have spent so much time on the internet trying to find the answers for all the symptoms I have had. Swollen eyelids, stuffy nose, pain over my back teeth, especially the right side. Pure misery for the past 10 years or so. According to the internet and the Ear, Nose and throat specialist who I have my second appointment with tomorrow I am suffering from Chronic Sinusitis. He has recommended a surgery called Septoplasty. He has found that I have a deviated septum of the nose and swollen turbinates in the nose also. Do yourself a favor and go on the internet and do searches on the following: Chronic sinusitis, Deviated Septum, Nasal Turbinates and Swollen eyelid due to sinusitis. I could swear they were talkiing about me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck! :-)

I'm glad there's a discussion thread for this.. I'm freaked out by this too.. this is the first time this has happened to me in 24 years.
I noticed that my right eyelid was hurting yesterday (whenever I touched the end of it). Then this morning I woke up and found it a bit swollen (about 2x the size of my normal left eyelid).
I avoided using my contact lens in that eye for the entire morning, and kept covering it with a wet paper towel.. rewetting after the tissue cooled down. Right now it's still not back to normal yet but I'm going to try to keep a cool wet towel over it when I sleep and hopefully it gets better tomorrow.
Several possible reasons that I've come up with:
1) finger was dirty when I put my contacts in
2) not drinking water and being dehydrated
3) eating lots of the Mexican "chile powder" which also has lots of sodium.
4) allergy/cold
So right now, I'm also trying to drink as much water as possible and see how it goes.
Wish me luck

This has been happening to me too for like the past 3 days. I wake up, and my eyelids are so swollen and creased, it's scary. I look like a different person. I end up pulling the creases out because I don't even want to go in public with it. I just hope this goes away soon..

Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC)
This is something that you might want to look at.... I have it and it is serious. It is horrible if you do not treat it. I can't wear my contacts for days when my eyelid gets swollen... it gets so bad that it swells shut sometimes. I take meds for it that do the same thing that Benodril (or however you spell it) does, except I dont have to take as much for it to work. Look it up by copy and paste in your search box, if the symptoms match yours, you may have it too. Good luck to you.

I have had a swollen "left "eyelid as well. It started bothering me yesterday, but when I woke up this am, it was really sore, red and swollen. My eyeball has not been affected either. Doesn't this all seem a little coincidental that it is most of our "left" eyelids?????
