It indicates inflammation of the eyelids.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. The symptoms of swelling along the eyelash with redness and puffiness indicates inflammation of the eye lids. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotic eye ointment. Applying hot compression to the eyelid provides symptomatic relief.
For eye dryness you need to use artificial tears eye drops.
If possible do send a photo of the affected eye so that I can advice you more accurately.


Hope the information is helpful to you.

Thank you
With regards
