Summary
Sun, wind, dust and dirt: the eyelids protect our eyes
from external influences and are regularly put to the
test. Sometimes they can swell together or individually.

How to recognize swollen eyelids?
We have 4 eyelids: two upper and two lower. They protect
our eyes from certain attacks, block light and promote
hydration and purification of the cornea.
This swelling can affect the upper and/or lower eyelids
and affect one or both eyes at the same time. Depending
on the cause of the swelling, there may be other
symptoms. In addition to swelling, the eyelids can be
red, painful, and even itchy.
What causes swollen eyelids?
In most cases, eyelid swelling is transient and not severe.Some common causes
can explain this.
Allergies
They are the most common causes of eyelid swelling, be it local allergies (sensitivity
to contact) or allergic reactions, for example after an allergic cold.
barley
barley is caused by a bacterial infection that collects on the edge of the eyelid at the
base of the eyelashes. Anyone can experience it at some point, but it's more
common in people with diabetes and contact lens wearers. Barley usually heals on
its own or with topical hygiene, sometimes in combination with antibiotic eye drops.
Chalazion
Chalazion is an inflammatory reaction caused by a blockage in the
gland that lubricates the surface of the eye. It is often confused with barley
because it causes a small, painful bump on the eyelid but does not affect the
free edge of the eyelid or the lashes. A chalazion can go away on its own
within a few weeks, but sometimes it needs to be removed surgically.
conjunctivitis
conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye, viz.the mucous
membrane that lines the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It has a
viral, bacterial, allergic or irritant basis and is manifested in particular by
redness in one or both eyes, accompanied by itching, tingling, clear or
purulent discharge.
Blepharitis
Blepharitis is a chronic inflammation of the lid margins.
It is caused by a blockage of the sebum glands in the
eyelid, either due to irritation, infection, or excess
sebum production. It causes swelling of the eyelid but
also itching or burning.You can also observe the
appearance of crusts and possible loss of eyelashes.
It is treated with eyelid care and possibly antibiotic
therapy. https://embracecomfort.com/
