Question: Redness and swelling of eyelid for person who has both glaucoma and macular degeneration
Brief Answer:
needs to see doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Glaucoma and macular degeneration do not cause swelling of the eyelid. This sounds like a stye or infection. Please see a doctor as soon as possible as you may need antibiotic eye drops. You do not need to see an eye doctor for this but you do need to see either your regular doctor or someone in urgent care. With the multiple problems you have with your eyes it would be a good idea to see a doctor today so it this is an infection you can begin treatment right away
