Swollen upper eyelid. spread to lower & eye overnight. not painful. happens occasionally but usually goes away w/in an hour. lasting 12+ hours.

Possible allergy: Painless swelling of the lids without redness is probably an allergic response to something you have come in contact with. You could try an antihistamine, like claritin (loratadine). If there is redness and/or pain, you need to see an ophthalmologist.
