Eye Sweling

Eye swelling, also known as periorbital edema, can be caused by various factors such as allergies, infections, injuries, and other medical conditions. The type of eye swelling can depend on the underlying cause. Here are some types of eye swelling:

• Allergic swelling: Allergies can cause swelling in and around the eyes. It can be caused by allergens such as pollen, pet dander, dust, or certain foods.
• Infectious swelling: Eye infections such as conjunctivitis or cellulitis can cause swelling of the eyelids.
• Traumatic swelling: Trauma to the eye, such as a blow or injury, can cause swelling around the eye.
• Orbital swelling: This is a type of eye swelling that occurs behind the eye and can be caused by various medical conditions, such as thyroid eye disease or a tumor.
• Systemic swelling: Some medical conditions, such as kidney or heart problems, can cause fluid buildup in the body, which can lead to eye swelling.

It is important to identify the underlying cause of eye swelling and seek medical attention if it persists or is accompanied by other symptoms.
