A member asked:

Swollen red eye bags, hurts when blinking. does not have any sty bump. how can i treat this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Try hot compress: Held on the eyes for at least 10 to 15 minutes several times daily. You can also try using artificial tears over the counter 2 to 4 times a day. If the symptoms persist you may need to be seen by an eye doctor to be prescribed medication. Good luck!
