A member asked:

Need answers fast what does poison ivy look like in the eye?

7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Swelling: The eyelid would be swollen with possible blisters and itchy. Wash the area to remove the allergen and see a doctor for proper treatment. An eye doctor or opthamologist would be appropriate.
