Hello
It seems from the history that you are having itching and swelling of the ryr.
These symptoms indicate allergic reaction to allergen like animals hair.
The treatment is by use of anti allergic eye drops. At the same time this requires evaluation to look for presence of any allergen inside the eye and it'd removal.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
