10 Eye Infection Symptoms

Symptom #8: Swollen Eyelids
Our eyelids help to keep our eyes moist, while also protecting them from any particles that might do harm. They are made from fairly thin tissue but this is still usually enough to provide adequate attention. As with other types of tissue, however, the eyelids can become swollen if irritated.
People with an eye infection will often experience swollen eyelids. In addition, they can also become red or even bright purple in color. The symptom is usually quite harmless in itself and will pass once the infection has been cured. It can be irritating, but you should be careful not to scratch or rub your eyelids where possible.
