Brief Answer:
Need picture and more information.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM.

Puffy eyes or eye edema could be due to eye infection (conjunctivitis or blepharitis) or due to some eyes allergy or hypothyroidism.

But before going to discuss it further I would like to inspect your eye-balls,so if possible if you can provide me picture of the eyes when they are swollen.

I will go through the picture and will give my opinion after that.

Also,let me know

Since when are you having puffy eyes?
Are you having itching there?
Do you have any history of allergy specific to eyes?
How is your sleep? do you sleep for at-least 6-8 hours in a day?

Kindly get back to me with picture and more information as I asked.

Awaiting your response.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
