Swollen Lid

by babsgarcia, Nov 01, 2009 10:49AM
As I was waking up this morning I rubbed my eye and realized it was tender.  When I got to a mirror, I saw that my eye lid is swollen, mostly on the inner corner.  Shortly after, it started watering very heavily and itching.   I flushed  it with cool water and a cotton ball, though that gave me a bit of relief to the itching, still swollen and is still very low grade dull pain.   Do not know if it is connected or not, but in recent months, have noticed that sometimes I get almost crystal like deposits in the corner of my eye where it would usually be just morning kind of gunky...(sorry, dont know the medical/technical term!)
