Maybe: But allergy usually both eyes. If painless, its often a bug bite. Could be a stye/chalazion.

Possibly: If it is itching, try cool compresses, anti-histamines, and artificial tears. If no itching is present, then it is not allergies and i would try warm compresses, artificial tears, ointment at night, and omega-3 fatty acid supplements. If no improvement, see an eye doctor.
