My eyes get bulgy in the corners and sometimes it's irritating to close or open the eyes. Doctors plz help?
Answers: Hi
I do a lot of reading on paper and screen... the next day my eyes are puffy and tired ... it could be an allergy too for you
IF TIRED: Boil some tea in a little water and let it cool. Dip 2 gauzes in this brew and place the gauzes on each eye for 15 minutes. Make sure you keep dipping the cotton wads into the liquid, as soon as gauzes dry up. Effective treatment for tired eyes
For tired eyes, wash them with cold water, several times a day. This treatment reduces inflammation, moisturizers the skin /tissues, relaxes the eyes & provides relief from eyestrain & fatigue.
Lavender oil offers gentle relief for tired and strained eyes. Add a drop of lavender oil to 500 ml (2 ½ cups) of water and shake the solution well.
Dip two cotton wool pads in the liquid, squeeze out the excess water and place one pad over each eye.
FOR ALLERGY:
Apply cold compress with oil of witchhazel or lavender or both.
FOR PUFFY EYES:
DO'S AND DON'TS FOR IMMEDIATE RELIEF
If you want to erase puffiness before you start your day, say doctors, here's what you can do.
Don't rub. If you do, says Dr. O'Donoghue, your eyes will get irritated and red--and stay puffy.
Employ a cold compress. Dunk a washcloth in cool water (or wrap ice cubes in a washcloth) and place it on your closed eyes, suggests Dr. O'Donoghue. When the cloth gets warm, wring it out and repeat. Do this three or four times. This takes just a few minutes, but it will help drain the puffs under your eyes, she says.
Apply a cold tea bag wrapped in tissue. Tea contains tannin, a natural astringent. The tannin in the tea may help pull the skin taut and reduce puffiness, says Dr. O'Donoghue. Five minutes should be all you need.
It is a good idea to wrap the tea bag in tissue. Otherwise, the tea will stain your skin, creating a raccoon effect. And tannic acid (a derivative of tannin) can sting, explains Dr. O'Donoghue. So keep your eyes shut.
NO MORE PUFFINESS, EVER
So much for deflating puffy eyes today. To prevent future episodes:
Raise your head with pillows. Two or three pillows will help keep fluids from pooling under your eyes, says Monica L. Monica, M.D., Ph.D., an ophthalmologist in New Orleans and spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. But it takes hours.
Avoid salty foods and alcohol. Increasing the amount of salty foods (like chips and pickles) that you eat and drinking alcohol make you retain fluids that can collect in the eye area (and elsewhere)
All the best.

This use to happen to my son all the time, it was an allergy. His was caused by certain weeds a certain time a year, when it got real bad he would have to get an allergy shot but eventually they found a pill that helped him.
i use to hav the same problem but then i got contacts and that doesn't happen 2 me anymore.
