Swollen Eyelids: What’s Causing It & When to Seek Help
Swollen eyelids can be uncomfortable, distracting, and sometimes even a sign of an underlying issue. Whether it’s mild puffiness or severe inflammation, the cause could be anything from allergies to infections. While many cases improve with simple at-home care, some may need professional treatment. If your eyelid swelling is persistent, painful, or affecting your vision, it’s worth getting checked out.
