How can I get rid of a swollen eye?

Answer by  Learner (350)

If puffy eyes remain even after undergoing home treatment like placing cold water dipped cloth on eyes or placing cucumber on eyes, then consult your optometrist immediately. Puffy eyes might happen due to some reasons like stress, allergies, hormonal changes and hereditary factors.

First you need to have your eye evaluated by a medical professional. The swelling could be caused by serious issues that require treatment. In the case of swelling from allergies-- or even from properly diagnosed pink eye a warm compress can be very soothing. This can be made simply by soaking a wash cloth in hot water.
