What can you do to treat a swollen eye?

Depends on the cause: The answer depends on what is causing the swelling. You should promptly visit to your ophthalmologist to determine the cause and best course of treatment.

Depends: There are way too many causes of swollen eyes to list, therefore many different treatments. They are all treated differently. Do not diagnose yourself and chose random over the counter drops. That can be a recipe for disaster. See an ophthalmologist and they will take care of it properly.
