Question 1

my left eye started feeling irritated and i rubbed it without thinking. now, the white of my eye is swollen like jelly and watery?

Accepted Answer

Allergic reaction: Sounds like you are having an allergic reaction to something. Often times this can be from pet dander or pollen. The 'jelly' feeling is created from swelling of the conjunctiva or the thin layer of skin over the top of the eye. I would advise taking an OTC antihistamine, ibuprofen, and using cool compresses over the eye. If no improvement, consider prescription for prednisone or similar medication

Question 2

the white part of my eye gets swollen. i e tried allergex drops but they didn't help much. pharmacist gave me texa allergy but it seems to make me worse. there's no pain. should i see a dr?

Accepted Answer

Yes, allergies: Allergies that involve not only your nasal passages, but also your eyes may require additional treatment. A Dr can do a thorough exam and determine if there are any underlying problems contributing to your issue. They can also treat the issue and follow up over time to make sure the issue does not come back as well as recommending what to avoid.

Question 3

can your eyeball be swollen?

Accepted Answer

Not really: The tissues around the eye, such as the conjunctiva, can become swollen with fluid, but the eyeball itself does not really change in size (the exception is in infants, where the eye can enlarge with high pressure). If the eye is protruding, as in thyroid disease, it may appear swollen or enlarged. The the eyelid on the other side is droopy, the normal eye might also appear relatively enlarged.

Question 4

why are my baby's eyes swollen?

Accepted Answer

Multiple possibiliti: Swollen eyes are usually a reflection of irritation to the sensitive linings of the eyeball or lids. This can come from irritants, like house dust, smoke or soap, viruses, bacteria. It could be part of an allergic reaction or a rare systemic  illness. If it doesn't seem to bother the kid & there is no buildup of pus or discharge, you can probably monitor the situation. If problems contact your dr.
