Hello
It seems from the history that you are having itching and swelling of eyes following swimming in ocean.
This is usually because of contact or allergic dermatitis caused by swimming in salt water of ocean.
The treatment is by cold compression and use of antihistamine eye drops and oral drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
