Swollen Eyelids
Swollen eyelids may occur as a result of an ulcer that affects the eyelids. An infection could spread into the tissues of the eyelid. Sometimes rubbing or scratching at the eye may irritate the eyelid and cause swelling.5Christopher Kent, Senior Editor. ‘Winning the Battle Against Corneal Ulcers.’ Review of Ophthalmology, 5 Sept. 2013, www.reviewofophthalmology.com/article/winning-the-battle-against-corneal-ulcers-42796
Removing discharge from the eyelashes and eyelids may be irritating as well. Medications used to treat eye ulcers may result in swollen eyelids, too, although the effect is usually temporary and harmless.5Christopher Kent, Senior Editor. ‘Winning the Battle Against Corneal Ulcers.’ Review of Ophthalmology, 5 Sept. 2013, www.reviewofophthalmology.com/article/winning-the-battle-against-corneal-ulcers-42796
