If it's inside the eye, I'd get to a doctor. I had something like that when I was twelve, and every time I blinked it tore my cornea a bit. Needed to wear an eyepatch for awhile.

I'd have it checked out. It could also just be a cold in the eye (seen children with that, they swell up big and quick) which would NOT require a patch.

Either way, don't mess with your vision. find out. JMO

It could also be pink eye, which is contagious.

Thanks guys. It's not pink eye cause i have had that before. But this is weird jusy my eyelid is swollen but the pressure is killing me i know i need to go in but i feel dumb i might just wait till tomarrow to see if it goes away

Amber ...so sorry to hear about your eye ...it sounds painful.....every time I wake up w/ a swollen red mark it always bring back memories of this article I read about spiders crawling on us at night...it saids we all eat about 6-8 spiders in our life time while asleep

Oh my, I was just getting ready to say the same thing..a spider mite. Sometimes they are just so small you can hardly see them and they get in the bed. Amber you really need to get it checked out. You could also have a torn cornea. You should never wait when it comes to your vision.

[Jlynn]

I see she logged off awhile ago. I hope she went to get it checked out!

[Janet]

I hope so too. I would never want to lose my vision or hearing.

sorry guys my headache was getting worse so i nt to lay down. Well my eye is worse as far as swelling but my headache is gone.it's just my eyelid that is swollen but if it is not better in the morning i will go in. Thanks eveyonr for your support i might take a pic later you gals seriously need to see it i look like quazy-moto lol

[Jlynn]

Well, glad your back and that your headache is gone. When I worked in daycare, we did have a little one who's eyelid swelled in a matter of hours...it was the weirdest thing. I believe the Dr. said that his cold had moved into his eye? Could be what your experiencing.

Sounds incredibly uncomfortable.
