Need evaluation.: This may not be related to what you ate, however you should see an ophthalmologist soon to be examined in the office to rule out other conditions, .

Stye: If it is an allergic reaction to chia seeds, this would almost always cause swelling of both eyes, not just one eyelid. Unilateral eye swelling is more commonly a stye, or an infection of the lid. But to evaluate this more thoroughly, you should see your eye doctor ASAP.
