Common Questions and Answers about Swollen eyelid pictures

I've had 4 operations in the last 9 months for retinal detachment. After the first 3, my eye would always recover properly. The last operation which was done December 5th 2008, went well according to my doctor. I went to Africa for a little over a month to travel with family in January. I did everything the doctor told me, putting my eye drops in and not touching the eye as it healed. Now it's June, and for the past 3 months the upper eyelid on the affected eye has been swollen.
Hi, two days ago on my right eye near the top eyelash and eyelid, i felt an itchy sensation. Then when i awoke the next day my eye was swollen but i didn't feel the itchyness. It hurts when i touch it , but i dont think i see a bump. It just makes my right eye look smaller and my eyelid looks droopy.
And idea what it is and how i can get rid of it? I mean i guess it's probably a stye but my eye doesn't look like the pictures I've seen online.
HI,
Each morning I wake up and my eyes appear identical. Within an hour, more and more of the left eyelid is showing and it stays this way all day. Not sure if it's swollen or ptosis. Looking back at pictures, it has been this way for about 5 years but now is starting to bother me. I've had a CT on sinuses and tests for thyroid issues. Next step is an MRI. Any idea what causes this? I am so self conscious and embarrassed by this.
I woke up this morning and my eyelid was very dry and slightly itchy, but when I checked in the mirror, I had several creases in the lid and my entire eyelid was tremendously swollen. The rash that was originally only around my eyes had also migrated towards my entire face and I can also feel it develop on my back. Several hours later, the swelling has gone down slightly but I still have multiple creases in the lid and it's still incredibly dry and itchy.
If its in the side of your eye near your nose it likely is the "caruncle" if in the very corner. If on your eyelid it could be the eyelid puncta or opening of the tear duct (one on upper and one on lower) If its on the side towards the ear can't offer any useful information. Use a search engine and pull up pictures of the "lacrimal caruncle" and see if that is what you're noticing.
If it's neurological there shouldn't be any actual swelling of the eyelid involved, hmmm if the eyelid is swollen then it 'could' make the eyelid just look like it's drooping down, have you seen your GP about it yet? As aspen mentioned it could be an infection or even a reaction bug bite on the eyelid, if it's been a few days and it's still swollen it'd be worth getting your GP to check it out.
Hope that helps....

The doctor coudnt correctly diagnose because in all of the pictures I was wearing glasses. Basically My right eyelid used to have an almond shape and now its the medial canthus of my right eye has been suddenly pulled downwards. I have no idea how this was caused. Is there any way I can fix my eyes via surgery?

I often wake up with a large, swollen eyelid. This has happened for over a month now. It alternates between both the left and right eye, top or bottom eyelid, and sometimes even both. There is no pain, and the swelling is normally reduced after using a cold compress... I have not noticed any patterns as to when the swelling occurs, and went weeks without makeup to see if that would help (if it was an allergic reaction.) Nothing seems to be effective, what could be the problem?
Over the last six months i am having recurrent swollen eyelid, only one eye at a time but can be either eye, usually lasts 1 or 2 days, only upper eyelid, no pain, itchyness, blurry vision or bloodshot eyes. Had reoccured every 2-3 wks, have had 9wks now when it hasn't happened, and yesterday it reoccurred. GP has tested for thyroid problems, all clear. I have psoriatic arthrits, my consultant says its not related, can you help?

About three to four days ago my eye began to feel like I had been punched in the face on the left side. I woke up the next morning to find a swollen eyelid, and a few lumps about the size of a piece of rice to a pin head. I gave it a day then went to the after hours where they gave me drops. Its since been two days and it gets more swollen everyday, today being swollen shut. The outside is purple and red and the inside is bright red and the lumps are growing.
My cat’s eye has been swollen and infected for a few months. My cat doesn’t have any other medical problems, no fever and is eating and acting fine. She has always had a blocked tear duct in this eye all her life. It has always been a weeping eye, but it has never been infected or swelled. This first started out as what seemed to be a cold as I heard some noisy breathing from her. Then the third eyelid showed up in one eye. Then it started to show some goop in it.
If your eyelid problem is due to inflammation or infection you will need to see an ophthalmologist for treatment. If it is due to the effects of age then you will need to see a plastic surgeon or oculoplastic surgeon.
I have swollen eyelids that come and go, almost like hives, but rarely itch. Can be one or several. On omnicef for sinus infection, but doctor doesn't think this is causing it. Before omincef had a sulfer type med that caused swelling in joints, sick stomach, rash, fever. Have been on Omicef 5 days. Started having strange raised bumps for three days that come and go. Will say that two weeks ago had actual hives around eyes and think it was caused from eye cream.
It seemed that just the inner part (toward the nose) of the eyelid was red and swollen but the skin above my eyelid has also drooped over my lid. The redness is gone and although my eye still feels like something is not quite right and the lid is a little more dry than normal, it looks all better except for that drooping skin. Is that due to swelling? Will it get better? I am only 24, so I don't think that skin should be drooping already (& on just one eye).
Yesterday I woke up and my eye was sore, today however I woke and my eye was in a lot of pain and the upper eyelid was swollen with a small bump under my lid. When I lifted up my lid (like the inside of my eye) there was a white bump, it sort of looked like a cacher sore or an ulcer, but a bump. I looked up pictures of styes and of chalazions and neither of them look like what I have, and I have not been able to find a picture of the inside of an eye.
I'll add as much information as possible to my topic. If this isn't in the right forum section, please move it to the correct one, but read my post first. I guess this could also go in the allergies section.
I am nearly 16 years old, now a Junior in High School, and have had problems with bumps and swelling on my eyelids since the 4th grade.
I woke up this morning to my right eye being half open. Looking in the mirror, it's swollen yet again.
