Question: I had swollen eyes the day after a treadmill stress test. I was also affected by tree pollen that day. The swelling went down the next day. My vision seemed to improve (I am under evaluation for cataracts).

Brief Answer:
Possible diagnosis: Pollen allergy

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The eye swelling you experienced is likely an allergic reaction to tree pollen. You can take antiallergic Cetirizine 10 mg once daily at bedtime until the swelling resolves completely.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification.
