What Causes Overnight Swelling In Eyes?

hello doctor. This morning I woke up and my right eye felt funny when I moved it, When I went to the bathroom to check on it, it was swollen and if you pulled the bottom lid down you could see an indentation. It looks like it is being pushed down and to the left and has a yellowish tint to it.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swelling of eyes with yellow tint.
This indicates infection of the eyes in the form of acute conjunctivitis.
The treatment of the condition is by use of antibiotic eye drops and oral antiinflammatory drugs. Applying hot compression provides symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
