Conjunctivitis : It maybe an inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye. I recommend having a healthcare professional.

Ophthalmology Visit: It is rare to have a constant one sided eye swelling. You must see an Ophthalmologist. There is a condition called Recurrent Erosions or Cogan's Microcystic dystrophy that may do such a thing. Or you may have a lodged foreign body under the upper lid on that eye, which may be a stuck soft contact lens if you wear contact lenses.

Allergy or infection: If yu sleep with your contact lens then most likely ii could be infection. If you are not light sensitive, no foreign body sensation or pain with vision change then it can be allergic reaction. Please consult your eye doctor.
