Swollen or itchy eyes can indicate a number of conditions, including:

Hayfever: A common allergic reaction to pollen, particularly in the summer, causing sneezing, itchy/watery eyes or inflammation.
Blepharitis: Another common condition causing itchy, sore or sticky eyelids
Styes: A small painful lump inside or outside the eyelid, which usually clears up on its own

Why should I get a Specsavers eye test?
Regular eye examinations are essential for clear, comfortable vision and you should have one every two years. But if symptoms persist, contact your local Specsavers store to arrange an appointment with an optometrist.
