What Causes A Swollen Sensation In The Eye?

I have a question so the right side of my eye feels swollen but when people look it looks normal like it s not puffy or swollen. I m not sure if i should see an eye doctor or maybe it s part of my TMJ? Have you ever heard of this because it just my right side feels like inside is puffy/swollen

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern.Swelling eye as per your query seems like Angioedema , Allergies or Infections ( bacterial or viral ) . I would suggest you to consult ophthalmologist for proper examination. Doctor will examine physically . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis . Doctor may also prescribe corticosteroid eye drops . Doctor may also check intaoccular pressure . If infection around only cornea then debridement can be done . Take multivitamin tablet for quick healing . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist in case of allergy and endocrinologist for thyroid problem.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
