What Causes Redness And Puffiness Of Eyes?

hey, My eye is really red, the outer lids are puffy, and it's painful when I blink. It has also been tearing a lot. I'm not sure if it's allergies, but somehow I doubt that only one eye is being affected. It's not conjunctivitis according to two doctors. So do you think you might be able to tell me what's wrong?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having redness and puffiness of eyelids.
This indicates inflammatory lesions of the eyes.
The common causes are conjunctivitis, blepharitis, uveitis...
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
