What Causes Redness And Swelling In The Eyes After A Migraine Attack?

I had a bad migraine yesterday. I noticed my right eye red, irritated and swollen (the white of my eye). Last night the throbbing pain in my eye got so bad I removed my contacts and applied ice to my eye. Today, I'm super sensitive to light (it hurts with light) and it still appears swollen, although I was able to put my contact back in.

you are having migraine but for error using contact lens. so it might have led to corneal erosion due to dry eye. remove your contact and use specs for some time. apply refresh eye tear drop three times daily avoid expo user to sun light can put on dark glass. refraction can be done and if needed corection can be given. can take migrainil one tab to start with and increase upto six tab till improve from all symptoms.
