Answer
Dear Crystal,
It seems like your swelling of the eyes is a result of some systemic reaction, (something inside your body), yes allergy being one of them.
The treatment lies in finding the cause of the allergy, and only a good physiocian can help you.
Symptomatically using anti allergy eye drops may just help you feel better but may not treat it as the cause will still be around.
Hope this helps,
Best,
