Hello,
It is likely that you have eye allergy. The exact allergen may not be known as it could be anything in the air such as pollen/dust. You can try using Refresh tears eye drops, 1 drop 4 times a day along with Alaway/Zaditor eye drops, 1 drop 2 times a day for about 3-4 weeks. There could also be associated blepharitis causing lid swelling. Give warm compresses and lid scrubs with 50:50 diluted baby shampoo.
Regards
