Hasn’t it happened with you when you wake up and the first thing in the morning that you spot in the mirror is a bit of swollen eyes or an eyelid swelling? Often that looks like a small usual thing which eventually goes off as we go by our day. However, sometimes the swelling does not go away even after we are up and had enough sleep. While almost everyone is likely to experience swollen eyelids at one time or another, the exact cause of it often remains unsure. Swollen eyelids can affect one or both eyes and may or may not be painful.
Most of the times the swelling in the lid is not a very serious concern, however you must still always check with your Oculoplastic surgeon to rule out the possibility of any serious infection or health problem that could be associated with such swelling. In certain cases, the swelling of these eyelids could be painful too and could lead to potential sight-threatening problems like orbital cellulitis, Graves’ disease and ocular herpes. Hence a thorough examination with the doctor becomes important.
CAUSES
Causes for eyelid swelling can range from fluid retention to a serious infection. In most of the cases, the swelling goes away within 24 hours. Some of the reasons for a swollen eyelid include:
Allergies
Bug bite
Fluid retention
Conjunctivitis or pink eye
Stye or a tender red bump
Cyst
A blocked oil gland
Orbital or pre-orbital cellulitis
Inflammation that spreads to the skin around your eyes
Injury or trauma (often accompanied by discoloration)
Fat prolapse
Certain medical conditions can also cause symptoms of a swollen eye or eyelid. This can also happen in the case of Graves’ disease and eye cancer, although these are rare.
The terms “puffy eyes” and “swollen eyes” are often seen being used interchangeably. While “puffy eyes” generally describe the physical appearance that is caused because of swollen eyelids; “swollen eyes” mostly refer to an inflammatory response of the eyelids and eye allergy, infection or injury.
SYMPTOMS
Some of the symptoms of swollen eyes include:
Puffy appearance to the eyes
Irritation in the eye
Itchy or scratchy sensation in the eye
Sensitivity to light
Watery eyes
Obstruction in the vision (depending on the extent of the swelling)
Redness of the eyelid
Red eyes and inflammation of the conjunctiva
Discharge from the eye
Flaking or eyelid dryness
Pain (it happens especially when swollen eyelids are caused by infection)
WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR
If swelling in the eyelids is accompanied by either of the following, then you must get it checked by the doctor immediately:
Pain in your eye
Blurry or distorted vision
Vision that gets worse
Floaters in the vision
Feeling that something is stuck inside the eye
Inability to move your eye muscle/Seeing double images

It is necessary to consult the doctor because certain conditions which lead to a swollen eyelid require medical attention. For instance, cancers of the eye are rare but they may make it seem like the eyelid is swollen when it is actually pressure from the cancer. And only a medical expert can diagnose the exact cause. Some people prefer to reach out for medical treatment immediately which allows them an accurate diagnosis, least harm and early relief. However, if your swelling doesn’t reduce during the first day, you seek medical help. The swelling can even be reduced with compresses, but treating a swollen eyelid correctly depends on the cause.
