Answers:
The below article has the information you are looking for. In short, our eyes swell because of our autonomic nervous system increasing blood flow to the face.
To get rid of the blotchiness...cold packs/washrags and deep breathing to try to relax to get that autonomic system to release the blood flow to the face.
