Brief Answer:
A picture and following information are needed

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concern.

Can you please provide a picture of the affected eye?

Can you also tell if:
- you suffer or being treated for hypertension?
- any recent activity outdoor?
- is your work dealing with dust? or working with herbs?

It seems to be an allergic reaction but other factors should be ruled out too. That's why I am asking to have the above-mentioned information.

Looking forward to have the requested data in.
