Brief Answer:
Possibility of allergy

Detailed Answer:
My Dear,
Thanks for sending your query to us.

Are there any associated synonyms like itching and discharge ?
The swelling is constant or is periodic?
Is the swelling in one eye or both the eyes ?

There are chances of this being allergic, if some symptoms are present. Borderline thyroid,for which no treatment is being offered does not cause swelling.

Do get back to me with these answers and do talk to your doctor about finastride tablet which you are taking, we use it in advance aged patients.

Please get back to me with relevant information so we can offer some help.
Regards
