What Causes Swollen Eye?

My left eye has been swollen for 2 days now, I randomly got a swollen eye when I woke up the day before yesterday. When I poke my swollen eye it hurts and when i blink it feels a little uncomfortable but my eyes are not red or anything. Neither do I have issues with my sight

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Its infection of the eyelid/eyelids. It might have happened due to insect bite or minor touch to eyelid while rubbing .

My advise is apply warm compresses over your eyes 2-3 times a day. Avoid touching eyes or eyelids.

if the swelling persists even after doing these then you need to consult doctor as you may require Antibiotic course.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.

Regards.
