Swollen eye: After crying certainly isn't unheard of. But is it possible you may have scratched your eyeball or have a lash inside the lid? If you are not using any products in attempts to remedy this, first look for a foreign body and if none, your vision is good, and your swelling not worsening, consider taping your lid shut for 24 hours to see if it will heal itself. You must see a doctor if worse.
