swollen, itchy scaly eyes

I woke up today and I could barely open my eyes.  My eyelids are very swollen...almost swollen shut and my eyelids are itchy and scaly.  I took allergy medicine but nothing seems to help.  What could this be from and how do I remedy it?

could be Blepharitis... you need to go the chemist and get some eye drops or eye ointment... (with an antibiotic in) .... Should clear up after a couple of days... :)
