Hello
It seems from the history that your mother is having swelling and itching of the eyes.
This is probably allergic affection of the eyes in the form of allergic conjunctivitis and treatment of the condition is by use of anti-allergic eye drops. Use of cold compression and artificial tears eye drops provides symptomatic relief.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
