swollen eyelid hurts to blink

As the day went by, it started hurting when I blinked and today it is a little more swollen than yesterday, but not too swollen. It hurts when I blink and the top corner of my eye is tender to touch. There seems to be no signs of anything resembling a stye. I applied some ice last night to see if the swelling would go down, but it doesn't seem like it will. Other than the swelling, my eye is not red and there is no discomfort besides when I blink. Could this be an injury?

My left upper eyelid has been swollen for about a week now, there is no redness that I can see either inside or out, but it hurts when I blink or touch the eye lid. Nothing else looks puffy.

s in the zone where It hurts (I can blink without hurting if I look to the side while doing, if the vessel is causing it it's probably because while looking to the side the eyelid isn't pressuring the eye like it is when the iris is looking forward.). I really don't know what is this but I'm tired of having to look to the side so I can blink painless "/ Any suggestions?

It could be either. Stye is much more common. You can do home treatment with warm compresses and cleaning lids with something like Ocusoft Foam Eyelid cleaner. If not getting better see an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Hi I am 37 years old and this morning I wake up because I had a bite of pain in my right eyes,. I went to the mirror and notice that my upper lid is more swollen and the eyes is smaller in size then the left one, It look more close then the left one. I did not had this when I went to bed yesterday at midnight I do not have discharged coming from it. I don't have pain when I look at the light or anything like this.

Funny thing.. I was jogging down a hill and I tripped on a curb. When I got up, I just couldn't keep my left eye open! When I try to rinse it out in front of the sink or in the shower it just doesn't want to come out. When I look forward and blink, my eye begins to water and it hurts pretty bad. I have to constantly look sideways and it hurts the most when my eyes are closed.

Yesterday when i woke up i noticed pain around my eye with pain whenever i would blink. I assumed the pain was because of pink eye but when i looked at my eye only my eyelid was red and swollen. It also looked like there was a bump. I then thought it was a stye but later realized the bump wasn't on the eyelash line. It's more in the middle of my eyelid. Whenever i read something online it says it's probably a chalazion but it also says chalazions arent painful but this is.

for the for two days now i have started to notice that my left eye is very tender when i touch it. i woke up today however and it hurts to just blink my eye. When i looked in the mirror i noticed that the inside corner of my eyelid is a reddish purple color. there are no bumps of any kind around that area and i have not gotten hit in the eye.

Hi I had the DCR surgery about ten days ago. The operation went well and seems to be working however my eyelid does not fully close when I blink. I'm really worried . The consultant said that it may be due to swelling of the eyelid area. Has anyone else had this problem?

Last week, I started to develop a slight pain in my eye, a week later its a little puffy and hurts every time I blink, even worse if I squint. I did not hurt it, nor bumped into anything, just wondering what it could be?? Help?

I thought it was my eye at first but now whenever I blink it hurts right in the inner corner (where it felt bruised earlier). I lifted up my eyelid and it looks like a blood vessel or something busted. And now when I touch it, I can feel something. I don't know if it's a bump or what. The actual eye does not hurt, and I do not have any problems seeing. Basically, I need to know if this is something really serious or if it's something that will go away on it's own?

Then you would need to go in to see an Eye MD ophthalmologist to evaluate the problem. No way I can give helpful information on this problem.

I feel like something (like sand or glass) is stuck under my eyelid. Every time I blink or move my eye it hurts...did your issue ever resolve itself? I never had these symptoms before the surgery!

I would recommend that you see an eyeMD for treatment. A stye is an infection on the eyelid. Warm compresses and an antibiotic ointment may be prescribed if this is the diagnosis.

Hello about 3 days ago my bottom eyelid was tender to touch or put eyeliner on,it was not discolored or puffy/ yesterday my btm eyelid under eyelashes was swollen looked like fluid was trapped/Wednesday am my bottom eyelid was almost swollen shut &very sore no discoloration or krusties / i have a little white pimple like spot on the inside middle part of bottom eyelid ..... what is it????

I woke up yesterday from a nap and my left eyelid was messed up. At first I was not very concerned and attributed the problem to a lack of sleep. I figured that if I got a good nights sleep the problem would fix itself. But I woke up this morning and it was still messed up! It feels really weird when I blink, like my eyelid is really heavy, and my eyes aren't puffy or anything. Does anyone know why this has happened, if it will be permanent, and how I can fix it?

Okay so... a couple days ago.. I got conditioner in my eyes during my morning shower. I rinsed them out, but perhaps I didn't do well because that night, my left eye (to you, so it would my right) started to swell, have slight pain and show a light pinkish-purple colour. The next day, it was a little worse.. more noticeable and my eye wasn't able to open all the way. I applied the warm compress a few times. But this morning.. it's really bad.

It's not noticeable but it bothers me. It's been like this for 2 years. The left eyelid (the bigger one) has more "space" than the right one. The left eyelid has little tiny wrinkles (I'm 13) and the left eyelid looks more "out" as in it's puffy. When I blink the left eye lid comes a little slower than the right.

I decided to look in my eyelid, (pull down lower eyelid) and look to see if there was any spots. I saw a cream colored, small spot in my eyelid. I wanted to know what this was and how it can be resolved.

I just do not like it and hate to talk to people face to face especially if I forget to forcible blink. I have had people comment about it. Like my son says.. it is freaky...

The condition gets significantly worse when I am on the computer, then I get the pressure really bad and it hurts to look upwards. Also, when I sleep I still feel the pressure and try to blink with my eyes closed, and its like a habit I can't stop. Like, I can blink when I am awake and my eyelid makes a popping sound and it feels a bit better. Its weird. Thanks in advance for any help.

when i woke up this morning i was perfectly fine. its getting so painful to look at stuff, move my eye, and especially to blink please help!!!

Okay, quick question. I have on my upper eyelid a very small blister of some type. It's completely clear with a clear fluid inside, no readness. It's located dead center of the eyelid on the part between the inner and outer eyelid (if that makes sense). Anyway, this is the second time in 3 months this thing has shown up. It's not entirely painless in that I can feel it there when I blink, so I'm guessing it's irritated. It looks nothing like a pimple though.

I've noticed that some days my left eyelid does not open fully and it looks weird because one eye is normal and the other one is droopy my vision is good though, it just looks weird and it just happens normally I can open both my eyelids fully and it will look normal but when I blink that eyelid comes back down, how do I treat this? i'm 25 and it gets more noticeable when I'm tired. Thanks for reading & your help.

I have treid the warm compresses and antibiotic drops and it hs went down some but still cause my eye to look swollen and I just want to know what this could be. Can styes form on the inside on the bottom of the eyelid?

Few days ago, she felt a little pain on right eye, the next day, her upper eyelid on right eye little swollen look like a thicker eyelid. I brought her to an experienced opthamogist, he said her right eye - white area has some irritation, the beginning of infection and prescribe eye drop. Still cornea is clear which is good. She is not really suffering anything, now using eye drop for 4 days without lenses. I plan to skip her lenses for another 6 days after 4 day eyedrop!
