Several causes: There are a lot of diseases that can produce "puffy eyes" as a symptom: from kidney failure to infectious diseases. You need a doctor consultation to see if this is a benign problem or something to be taken care of.

Fluid retention: You are very young at 26, but i'd suspect you ate a salt laden meal (pizza, chinese) and you retained excess fluid to dilute the salt.If it persists see your dr. I'm worried about your ability to clear liquids as the eye area is more sensitive than ankle swelling in "edema", a sign of too much water in the body.
