Hello
It seems from the history that you are having swollen and itchy eyes. If it is because of bed bugs the eggs of them can be seen in the eye lashes and treatment is by their removal.
The other causes for this are recurrent blepharitis or allergies which require treatment by the use of anti allergic drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
