Causes of Facial and Periorbital Edema
Disease description:
This morning after waking up, I noticed significant swelling of my face and eyes. I’m not sure if it’s due to an allergic reaction. Could you please tell me what are the main causes of eyelid swelling?
Hello,
If you experience eye swelling, it is primarily due to prolonged tearing, which can trigger an allergic reaction in the eyes. This, in turn, leads to persistently elevated intraocular pressure. Once eye swelling occurs, it is essential to rest your eyes promptly and avoid overusing them; otherwise, continuous strain may prevent your eyes from returning to their normal state. Applying lubricating or anti-allergy eye drops and performing gentle eye massages may help reduce swelling more quickly.
I hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
