Answers:

It could be a clogged tear duct. I get these about 6 times a year. Take a regular tea bag (not green tea or herbal tea) and put it in steaming hot water. Don't wring it out, but give it a little squeeze so you don't get tea all over your face. Place the teabag on the swollen eye (with your eye shut of course) until it is cool (don't put it on if it's too hot!). If you do this a few times, it should help unclog the tear duct.



It might be a "stye". Soak a washcloth in warm (NOT hot!) water and put it over your eye for a few minutes. Repeat several (10+) times. Look at your eyelid again. See if your eyelid has developed a "head" (sort of like a pimple). If you can "break" the head of the pimple with your fingernail, it will help to drain the "stye".

Could be allergies. You could take a benedrill before going to bed and it should be better by morning. If not, you may want to see a doctor



Punch the other one to make it even. VOILA!
