Swollen eyes are a condition that can have many different causes. Swollen eyes, red and swollen eyelids are usually the first symptom of an allergy, but they can also indicate serious diseases, not only of the eyes. What are the causes of swollen eyes?



Swollen eyes are a multi-factorial condition. The most common causes of eyelid edema are allergic diseases. Swollen eyes can also be a symptom of numerous eye diseases, as well as general diseases such as heart rhythm disturbances , hyperthyroidism , diabetes and sinusitis .

Swollen eyes: a local allergic reaction

If you experience pale flesh-colored swelling of the eyes, in addition to itching, it may be assumed that the cause of the swollen eyes is a local allergic reaction.

Swollen eyes: eye inflammation

Inflammation of the eyelid margins is a disease that manifests as itching, burning, redness and ulceration of the edges of the eyelids. The swelling of the eyes is also accompanied by lacrimation.

Chromium , or chronic inflammation of the thyroid gland, is characterized by local redness and pain in only one eyelid. Painless swelling of the eye appears at a distance from the edge of the eyelid.

Infective conjunctivitis - the symptoms of the disease are unilateral or bilateral swelling of the conjunctiva, redness (injection) of the conjunctiva, discharge (mucopurulent or purulent), sometimes enlargement of the parotid nodes.

Swollen eyes: ocular shingles

Ocular shingles is the type of shingles that affects the cornea of ​​the eye. The symptoms of the disease are swelling of the eyelids, conjunctival vessels congestion, and corneal erosions and infiltrates. There is also severe pain in the eye.

Swollen eyes: eye barley

Barley on the eye is a bacterial disease whose symptoms are local redness and pain in only one eyelid. The disease also develops swelling of the eyelid margin, sometimes with purulent discharge.

Swollen eyes: insect bite

An insect bite can also cause swollen eyes. This is when itching and redness of the eyes appear, as well as lumps on the eyelids.

Swelling of the eyes: disturbances in the eye socket

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a disease caused by clots in the veins in the brain and in the dural sinuses. Swollen eyes are only an accompanying symptom of the disease. The characteristic symptoms of the disease are exophthalmos, paralysis of eyeball mobility, drooping eyelid and reduced visual acuity. In addition, there is a fever and symptoms of sinusitis. Diagnosis of the disease is very rare.

Orbital inflammation is a disease that affects not only puffy eyes, but also exophthalmos and redness. There is also pain during eye movements and reduced visual acuity. Sometimes the disease is preceded by symptoms of infection (usually sinuses).

Pre-septal orbital inflammation presents with edema without protruding eyes, redness, sometimes pain in the eyes, and fever. Visual acuity and eye mobility are normal. The disease is usually preceded by symptoms of infection (most often local skin infection).


Swollen eyelids: a general allergic reaction

Swelling of the eyes, their itching, and extra-ocular allergic symptoms (e.g. hives, wheezing, runny nose) may indicate a general allergic reaction.
Swollen eyes: general conditions Overactive thyroid gland

Swollen eyes are just one of the many symptoms of an overproduction of thyroid hormone. In the course of the disease, there are also widened eyelid fissures, protruding eyes, disturbed eye mobility and dryness of the eye. The accompanying symptoms are tachycardia (increased heart rate), agitation, weight loss and poor heat tolerance (constant heat).

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
